How to Use This Cloverleaf Colony, South Dakota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cloverleaf 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 Cloverleaf 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.

Cloverleaf Colony occupies a quiet expanse of the high plains where the horizon stretches thin and pale against the weight of an immense, cloud-streaked sky. It lies 35.8 miles east-southeast of Huron, SD (from Huron, SD: bearing 110°T), and is situated 24.3 miles west-northwest of Madison. The terrain here is defined by the steady, rhythmic pulse of the prairie, a landscape of long grasses and subtle rises that catch the slanted, amber light of late afternoon. Only a mile to the east, the West Fork Vermillion River carves a narrow, winding path through the soil, its presence marked by a thin ribbon of deeper green vegetation that contrasts with the surrounding fields. Further out, the landscape holds the quiet stillness of the Miner County Waterfowl Production Area, where the air is often filled with the distant, haunting calls of migratory birds moving across the open expanse. Five miles away, the surface of Lake Thompson reflects the shifting moods of the weather, acting as a mirror for the vast, unencumbered firmament that dominates every view.

Agriculture remains the primary anchor of the local economy, with the soil of Cloverleaf Colony yielding to the patient, seasonal labor of those who work the land in accordance with traditional practices. The history of the settlement is tied to the enduring strength of these communal efforts, where the focus has long been on self-sufficiency and the maintenance of a disciplined, orderly life. Life here moves at a pace dictated by the requirements of the harvest and the changing seasons, far removed from the frantic acceleration of larger urban centers. In the quiet evenings, the atmosphere carries a distinct clarity, a reminder of the isolation and the stark, uncompromising beauty of the plains that have shaped the character of Cloverleaf Colony for generations.

About This Cloverleaf Colony Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cloverleaf Colony, South Dakota. Coordinates: 44.182472, -97.537017. 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 Cloverleaf Colony includes the ZIP code (57349), telephone area code (605), county seat of Miner County (Howard), and school district assignment (Howard School District 48-3).

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.
