Explore Evergreen Colony, South Dakota, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Evergreen 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 Evergreen 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.

Evergreen Colony occupies a quiet expanse of prairie where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the setting sun in a single, lingering swallow of amber light. It lies 36.0 miles southwest of Aberdeen, SD (from Aberdeen, SD: bearing 229°T), and is situated 95.5 miles west of Watertown. The land here does not boast dramatic heights, but rather favors a subtle, rhythmic swell of earth that mirrors the slow breathing of the plains. Four miles away, the North Fork Snake Creek carves a thin, silver vein through the soil, providing a modest hydration to the grasses that ripple under the constant, restless movement of the wind. To the west, the distant profile of Sugar Loaf Hill rises like a blunted thorn against the sky, a solitary point of reference in an otherwise vast and unobstructed geometry of gray-green fields and open sky.
Evergreen Colony draws its character from the enduring labor of the soil, maintaining a pace of life dictated by the seasonal turning of crops and the patient demands of local agriculture. The economy remains rooted in this fertile persistence, supported by the proximity of Lake Faulkton, a state conservation area that offers a quiet sanctuary for migratory birds and those who seek a moment of stillness away from the machinery of harvest. While the memory of early homesteaders remains pressed into the texture of the region, the modern pulse of Evergreen Colony is defined by the steady, unsentimental work of those who tend the land. Life here moves with the gravity of the seasons, a silent agreement between the people and the expanse of Dry Lake, which sits eight miles away as a shallow, reflective mirror of the shifting South Dakota clouds.

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.
