2017 Map of Lake Byron

About this map

The James River snakes through the center of this Beadle County landscape, defining the character of the terrain just north of Huron. In the heart of the river's winding valley sits the Huron Colony, a notable Hutterite settlement situated along the banks where Foster Cr joins the main branch. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate water network of the region, including the large expanse of Lake Byron and the smaller, adjacent Connors Lake and Piper Lake. The map serves as a vital resource for local history, marking the location of the Atfield Cem to the south. The land is crisscrossed by a grid of rural routes such as Co Rd 8 and Co Rd 12, which connect isolated homesteads and agricultural plots to the river corridor and the shoreline developments of N Shore Rd.
