How to Use This Davis, South Dakota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Davis, 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 Davis.

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.

Davis anchors itself firmly upon the flat, expansive plains of South Dakota, where the Vermillion River carves a quiet, serpentine path through the deep loess soil just a short distance from the center of town. It lies 25.1 miles southwest of Sioux Falls, SD (from Sioux Falls, SD: bearing 216°T), and is situated 8.5 miles southwest of Lennox. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the faint, serrated silhouette of Rocky Ridge rising in the far distance, a jagged reminder of the shifting geology that once shaped this region. To the east, the landscape hums with the subtle, persistent vitality of the prairie, while the light at dusk bleeds a bruised plum color across the fields, casting long, thin shadows that stretch toward the water. Only three miles away, the surface of Mud Lake reflects the changing sky, offering a stillness that defines the open, exposed character of the land.

Agriculture dictates the tempo of life in Davis, as the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest governs the movement of heavy machinery along the grid of rural roads. History here is written in the geometry of fence lines and the sturdy, unadorned architecture of grain elevators that stand as sentinels over the local economy. Beyond the immediate reach of the fields, the Turner County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary for migratory birds, preserving a pocket of natural habitat that feels as essential as the crops themselves. The people of Davis maintain a steady, pragmatic connection to the earth, finding a quiet satisfaction in the endurance of the soil and the predictable, rhythmic demands of a life lived in harmony with the weather and the turning seasons.

About This Davis Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Davis, South Dakota. Coordinates: 43.257484, -96.995606. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Davis includes the ZIP code (57021), telephone area code (605), county seat of Turner County (Parker), and school district assignment (Viborg Hurley School District 60-6).

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.
