Explore Claremont, South Dakota, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Claremont, South Dakota. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of South Dakota or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Claremont.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Claremont occupies a vast, level expanse of the northern prairie where the horizon pulls the sky tight against the earth in a relentless, unbroken line. It lies 26.9 miles east-northeast of Aberdeen, SD (from Aberdeen, SD: bearing 58°T), and is situated 46.6 miles west of Sisseton. The land around Claremont is a high, open stage for the weather, dominated by the rhythmic sway of grain stalks and the steady, insistent push of wind that carries the scent of dry soil and coming rain. Though the terrain appears uniform to the casual eye, the subtle shifts in elevation reveal a landscape shaped by long winters and the deep, silent frost that settles into the loam. Travelers crossing this terrain might notice the quiet solitude of Putney #3, a nearby wildlife area that offers a brief, sheltered reprieve from the expansive openness of the surrounding fields.
Claremont remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of agriculture, a place where the economy is measured in harvest yields and the seasonal pulse of the local elevator. The settlement grew from the early ambition of those who saw potential in the dark, fertile soil, establishing a rhythm of life that honors the resilience required to thrive in such a spare, exposed environment. While the waters of Crow Creek flow quietly eight miles away and the surface of Columbia Road Reservoir reflects the shifting clouds twelve miles to the distance, the daily existence of the people here focuses on the immediate, tangible labor of the plains. There is a profound honesty in the way the buildings face the wind, standing as enduring markers of a life defined by the quiet persistence of the harvest and the changing color of the prairie grass under the immense, unblinking sun.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
