South DakotaSouth Dakota law lists roads in the state highway system
The law identifies which road stretches belong to South Dakota's state highway system by naming towns, highway connections, and specific endpoints.

The state highway system also includes listed stretches near Oelrichs, Hot Springs, and Custer. The law uses highway connections and land survey locations to identify their boundaries.
