How to Use This Fulton, South Dakota Map

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

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.

Fulton occupies a quiet stretch of the South Dakota prairie where the sky expands with an unrelenting, pale clarity. It lies 10.3 miles east of Mitchell, SD (from Mitchell, SD: bearing 84°T), and is situated 57.5 miles west-northwest of Sioux Falls. Johnson Creek carves a thin, meandering silver line through the earth near the center of the landscape, feeding the thirsty soil and defining the subtle contours of the plains. Two miles distant, the waters of Fulton Lake settle into the basin, reflecting the shifting moods of the clouds that drift over the flat horizon. Here, the air carries a crisp, dry weight, and the light at dusk bleeds across the grasses in long, amber ribbons, turning the dormant fields into a sea of muted bronze.

Fulton emerged from the ambition of pioneers who saw potential in the fertile, dark loam that defines this corner of the state. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of agriculture, where the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest dictates the pulse of daily life. Beyond the immediate reach of the silos and farmsteads, the Hanson County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary six miles away, preserving the wild character of the land for the migratory birds that pass through the skies. Life in Fulton moves with the deliberate pace of a pendulum, grounded by the steady labor of those who work the earth and the enduring silence of the wide, open plains.

About This Fulton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fulton, South Dakota. Coordinates: 43.724703, -97.823684. 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 Fulton includes the ZIP code (57340), telephone area code (605), county seat of Hanson County (Alexandria), and school district assignment (Hanson School District 30-1).

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.
