South Dakota's lakes and reservoirs tell the story of a state shaped by water as much as by prairie and sky. The great Missouri River impoundments of the Oahe, Sharpe, and Francis Case form the backbone of the state, stretching for hundreds of miles through the Great Plains. To the east, the glacial lakes of the Coteau des Prairies shimmer across the farmland horizon. And in the Black Hills, cold clear reservoirs like Pactola and Deerfield sit tucked into pine-covered canyons. Our handcrafted 3D wooden lake maps capture every depth contour and shoreline in precision laser-cut wood, made to order by a Minnesota veteran in Stacy, MN. Ships in 1 to 2 weeks.
