Welcome to the Mount Rushmore State! Nestled in the North Central Region of the United States, South Dakota offers a beautiful site for truckers to admire. The state is dominated by peaceful, wide-rolling plains transitioning from flat river valleys in the east to plateaus, buttes, and a canyon-scarred terrain in the west. And don't miss the rugged beauty of the Badlands with the breathtaking Black Hills just west of them, a dome-shaped mountain region filled with dense forests and picturesque scenic byways.
Whether you're drawn to big-city hustle or the charm of small towns, South Dakota offers unforgettable sights at every turn. You can look forward to delivering in and out of Sioux Falls, Mitchell, and Rapid City, while also passing through beautiful settlements such as Deadwood, Wall, and Sturgis, to name just a few. Right at the heart of the state lies its capital, Pierre, located on the banks of the Missouri River. Though modest in size, Pierre boasts some impressive architectural gems - well worth a stop on your route!
The Mount Rushmore State is mostly agricultural, but forestry and mining also play significant roles, meaning you can expect to haul a diverse range of cargo. Two major interstates make traversing the state efficient: Interstate 90 runs east to west across the southern half, while Interstate 29 cuts north to south through the eastern region, making sure your deliveries stay on schedule.
Whether you're drawn to serene wilderness, vibrant city life, or the simple joys of the open road, South Dakota truly offers something for everyone. Make sure to add this map expansion to your Steam wishlist!
