1978 Map of Plainview Colony

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Plainview Colony stands as the primary communal settlement in this northern plains landscape, situated near the boundary between McPherson and Edmunds Counties. The terrain is defined by glacial depressions and small water bodies, most notably Rosette Lake, which is surrounded by a designated State Game Protection Area. This late-1970s survey illustrates a landscape of large-scale agricultural townships including Adrian, Rosette, Huntley, and Ipswich. Local infrastructure is sparse but functional, marked by a Radio Tower and several scattered Gravel Pits. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Cem near the colony provides a specific point of interest for tracing early families and communal history in this portion of South Dakota.
