2017 Map of Miller Dale Colony

About this map

The Miller Dale Colony anchors this portion of Hand County, illustrating a late-twentieth-century Hutterite settlement pattern in the South Dakota plains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Ree Cr and the topographical depression of Campbell Gulch. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road network, where routes like 206th St and 354th Ave form the primary infrastructure for agricultural transport. This survey reflects the persistence of communal agricultural colonies in the region, showing the specific cluster of structures and localized water features that support their self-sufficient economy. Outside the immediate settlement, the terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands, typical of the glaciated plains, which are bisected by the county road system including Co Rd 6 and Co Rd 26.
