COMMENTS:
Only a couple buildings exist in the hamlet of Imlay, South Dakota, which is just a grove of trees on the high prairie. One of the buildings is a depot from the nearby ghost town of Interior that was moved there. It can be seen from T.H. 44 on the north side. An abandoned railroad grade exists today. Rattlesnakes are common here. Beware! REMAINS: A couple of buildings (one is an old depot), a grove of trees. |
| Imlay was a small town established when the Milwaukee Road extended its line west from Murdo to Rapid City in 1907. When the Dust Bowl drove homesteaders away in the 1930's, the population declined sharply in Imlay as did in many other nearby towns. One of the existing buildings is a Milwaukee Road depot from Interior, SD. Submitted by: Andrew Shireman |
