1957 Map of Milltown

About this map

The James River meanders through the central plains of South Dakota, carving a distinct valley through the townships of Foster and Milltown. This mid-century landscape is defined by its agrarian social structures, anchored by communal settlements and rural educational hubs. The New Elm Springs Colony and the Colony of Mercy Home for the Aged stand near the northern reaches of the river, while the small settlement of Milltown serves as a focal point further south.
