2017 Map of Milbank East

About this map

Milbank and the agricultural lands of eastern Grant County are meticulously detailed in this survey of the South Dakota prairie. The landscape is defined by its deep commitment to local history, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Old Alban Evangelical Cem, Bethlehem Lutheran Cem, and the central Milbank Cem. These sites, alongside the Saint Lawrence Cem, provide a clear genealogy of the families who settled this region between the N Fork Yellow Bank River and the northern shores of Lake Albert. Outside the residential core of Milbank, the terrain is organized by a precise grid of county highways and local roads like Co Hwy 31 and Co Hwy 14, reflecting the township and range system that facilitated the expansion of the local farming economy and the establishment of the Milbank Municipal Airport.
