How to Use This Lantry, South Dakota Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lantry, 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 Lantry.
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.

About Lantry, South Dakota
Lantry is a locality in Dewey County, South Dakota, United States. It is a small community with a population of 33. The population density is 30.7 people per km². Lantry is located at 45.0144°N, 101.4315°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 57636.Lantry occupies a quiet expanse of high plains where the horizon stretches thin and pale against a vast, unyielding sky. It lies 69.4 miles northwest of Pierre, SD (from Pierre, SD: bearing 310°T), and is situated 60.7 miles southwest of Mobridge. The earth here is defined by the steady, rhythmic rise and fall of the prairie, a landscape that holds the heat of the summer sun in its dry grasses until long after the light has faded to a bruised purple. To the east, the ground shifts toward the modest basin of Lantry Lake, while the persistent, narrow path of Little Bear Creek carves a deeper, cooler shadow through the silt a few miles away. On the clearest days, the faint, serrated edge of the Crockett Mountains brushes the western skyline like a jagged sketch left unfinished by the wind.
Lantry persists as a quiet node of human endurance, a point of arrival and departure for those tethered to the cycles of the plains. The economy remains rooted in the slow, deliberate work of the land, where the rhythms of grazing and seasonal harvest dictate the pace of every passing week. A sense of solitude defines the local character, a byproduct of the wide, open distances that separate the scattered homesteads and the remnants of older transit routes. Travelers seeking a moment of stillness often find their way toward the quiet boundaries of Shupick Park, where the silence of the prairie is interrupted only by the rustle of dry stalks and the shifting of the light.

About This Lantry Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lantry, South Dakota. Coordinates: 45.014426, -101.431544. 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 Lantry includes the ZIP code (57636), telephone area code (605), county seat of Dewey County (Timber Lake), and school district assignment (Eagle Butte School District 20-1).
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.
