2017 Map of Rockport Colony

About this map

Rockport Colony sits along a prominent bend of the James River in Hanson County, serving as the central settlement in this rural South Dakota landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding river valley and its tributaries, including Bloom Cr and Pierre Cr, which cut through the surrounding agricultural sections. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Friedhof Cem and the Rockport Colony Cem located near the main settlement. The survey detail highlights the grid-like progression of rural life, with named corridors like Turtle Rd and a network of numbered section roads such as 264th St and 418th Ave connecting the isolated farmsteads and communal buildings of the Hutterite colony.
