How to Use This Cameron Colony, South Dakota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cameron Colony, South Dakota. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of South Dakota or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cameron Colony.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Cameron Colony, South Dakota

Cameron Colony emerges from the wide, amber-hued expanse of the eastern prairie, where the horizon stretches flat and uncompromising under a vault of pale, high-altitude sky. It lies 23.0 miles north-northeast of Yankton, SD (from Yankton, SD: bearing 17°T), and is situated 32.9 miles north-northwest of Vermillion. The land here holds the quiet intensity of deep-soil endurance, defined by the slow, seasonal pulse of grasses that turn from the vibrant emerald of spring to a brittle, sun-bleached gold by late summer. To the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Rocky Ridge marks the distant edge of the world, while the immediate geography is shaped by the subtle, meandering path of Turkey Creek. The air carries an earthy, uncomplicated clarity, cooling rapidly as the sun dips low, casting long, lean shadows that emphasize the subtle shifts in elevation across the fields.

Cameron Colony maintains a character tethered to the rhythmic demands of the soil, reflecting a heritage defined by the deliberate, steady work of generational agriculture. The local economy remains deeply rooted in these wide-reaching fields, where the cycles of planting and harvest dictate the pace of daily affairs and the quiet commerce of the neighborhood. Beyond the cultivated rows, the Yankton County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for migratory wings, offering a quiet, marshy counterpoint to the orderly patterns of the surrounding farms. While the waters of Swan Lake lie a short distance away, the life of the place remains firmly grounded in the rich, dark earth that has supported its people through every changing season, ensuring that the legacy of the land remains as persistent as the wind moving across the plains.

About This Cameron Colony Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cameron Colony, South Dakota. Coordinates: 43.188974, -97.262939. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Cameron Colony includes the ZIP code (57070), telephone area code (605), county seat of Turner County (Parker), and school district assignment (Viborg Hurley School District 60-6).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
