South Dakota, while it may not be the most populous state, is still a state nonetheless and, as a concession, is one of the more interesting states geographically. In this article you’ll discover some things about South Dakota that you never knew, some that you may have already known, and some that you don’t care about; but at the end of the day, if you’re looking for car transport to the state for whatever reason, M2Reeves Car Shipping is the only place you need to call.

The state is located in the north-central United States and is cut in half by the Missouri River; this division serves more than just as a river through a state. It is essentially cut in half by the river, and the two different sides are almost different states, with two distinct economies and societies that are vastly different. These two sides are known locally as “East River” and “West River,” and if you’re looking for car transport to the state you may want to double-check which side of the river you want to go on. Both sides have great economies – they’re just different, so be sure to figure out which one you want to go to before booking your car transport.

South Dakota is also dominated by the Black Hills, a range of hills and mountains that runs through much of the state. The Black Hills have known their fair share of people, ranging from ancient Native Americans to the gold miners who settled there in the 1870′s. Also of note, should you be on the fence about car transport, is the ever-famous Mount Rushmore, which is located on the face of one of the hills in the Black Hills – this has served as an unofficial symbol for the state since its construction.

South Dakota is further separated by four major land regions, which are: the Drift Prairie, the Dissected Till Plains, the Great Plains and (as stated earlier) the Black Hills. We’ll delve a bit into each region so you’ll have a better understanding of the state you’re looking for car transport to, so just bear with us and we’ll tell you what you need to know.

The Drift Prairie covers most of eastern South Dakota, and is made up mostly of low hills and lakes. French traders were the first to come through here in the late 17th century, and they had originally named this region Coteau des Prairies (Prairie Hills). In the north, the Drift Prairie is bordered by the Minnesota River Valley and the James River Basin to the west – however, both of these are still considered part of the Prairie itself.

The second region is called the Dissected Till Plain, and it lies primarily in the southeastern corner of the state. It’s jam-packed with rolling hills and winding streams, and it truly is one of the most beautiful regions of the state (and the region we recommend car transport to); even the majestic Black Hills, located in this region, can be beautiful at times. The Great Plains covers essentially the rest of the state, and it is (again) full of lots of hills and valleys that make it one of the most geographically diverse regions of the Plains in the country. Its many buttes and bluffs make for scenic driving, but weather can be brutal in this region.

The last region that we have yet to talk about is the Black Hills, which geographically take up most of the southwestern part of the state and extends all the way into Wyoming and into the Dissected Till Plains. Its highest point is Harney Peak, which is also the highest point between the Rocky Mountains and the French Alps, beating even some of the tallest mountains in the Appalachian Mountains. The Black Hills are mostly known for their gold and silver yields, which in the late 1800′s caused quite a stir for people, enabling the state to be settled by prospectors and people looking to get rich quick.

South Dakota has a continental climate, which means that it has four distinct seasons: cold winters, hot summers, and mild spring and fall. During the summer months average highs hover around 90 degrees with lows around 60. In the winter months, the temperature can drop severely, with highs reaching around 50 degrees on average, and lows dropping down into the teens.
