South Dakota Map
South Dakota, constituent condition of the United States of America. South Dakota turned into the 40th condition of the association on November 2, 1889. The state has two extraordinary actual elements: it contains the geographic focus of the United States, which is found only north of Belle Fourche, and it has its own mainland partition, because of which Lake Traverse, in the southeastern corner of the state, streams toward the north to Hudson Bay, and Big Stone Lake, on the Minnesota line, streams toward the south to the Gulf of Mexico. South Dakota is lined by North Dakota toward the north, Minnesota and Iowa toward the east, Nebraska toward the south, and Wyoming and Montana toward the west. The state is parted by the upper Missouri River valley into eastern and western districts. Pierre, in focal South Dakota, is one of the country's littlest state capitals.

Geology of South Dakota
Rivers in South Dakota
The Missouri River depletes all of the state with the exception of the northeastern districts, from which spillover moves through Big Stone Lake and Lake Traverse into the Minnesota River and the Red River, individually. In eastern South Dakota the key feeders of the Missouri are the Big Sioux, Vermillion, and James waterways, which stream toward the south. In the western area the Grand, Moreau, Cheyenne, Bad, and White waterways stream toward the east to deplete the Black Hills and the Great Plains.
Soils in South Dakota
Chernozem soils, shaped for the most part from icy float and very much adjusted to the development of wheat and corn (maize), cover the eastern region. Inside the Great Plains locale are chestnut and Pierre soils, recognized by their weighty, tacky surface. Both of these dirts are likewise appropriate for agribusiness.
Environment of South Dakota
The environment is portrayed by limits in temperature, low precipitation, and generally low moistness. The skies are for the most part clear. Cyclonic tempests happen much of the time in the eastern segment throughout the spring and summer. In this area temperatures range from lows of almost 0 °F (- 18 °C) in January to highs in the upper 80s F (around 31 °C) in July. Outrageous temperatures close - 40 °F (- 40 °C) and around 115 °F (44 °C) can happen.

Economy of South Dakota
The economy of South Dakota depends fundamentally on farming creation, however the travel industry, ranger service, and mining have expanded in significance. The state has likewise profited from the presence of government establishments strikingly from offices worked by the U.S. Armed force Corps of Engineers along the Missouri bowl, from public parks and landmarks, and from the flying corps base at Rapid City.
Resources and power
Head assets found in South Dakota are gold, concrete, stone, sand, and rock. Gold was removed fundamentally from the Homestake Mine in the Black Hills until it shut in 2001; in any case, many open-pit gold mines stay in the state. Concrete is created at a plant in Rapid City that started activities during the 1920s; the plant was offered to unfamiliar financial backers in 2001.
The Fort Peck, Oahe, Big Bend, Fort Randall, Garrison, and Gavins Point dams on the Missouri River have made South Dakota a significant maker of hydroelectric power, the greater part of which is communicated out of state. South Dakotans depend fundamentally on coal-or oil-terminated electrical plants, worked in South Dakota and adjoining states. The rest of the state's power is created from gaseous petrol and wind.
