How to Use This Raymond, South Dakota Map

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

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.

Raymond occupies a vast, open expanse of the northern plains where the horizon pulls the sky taut against the earth like a drumhead. It lies 40.3 miles north-northeast of Huron, SD (from Huron, SD: bearing 20°T), and is situated 46.5 miles southeast of Aberdeen. The land here does not rise in dramatic peaks but stretches in quiet, rhythmic swells that hold the golden light of late afternoon until the shadows grow long and thin. To the west, the faint, hazy suggestion of Doland Ridge creates a subtle boundary against the deepening blue of the dusk, while the local moisture gathers in the low-lying basin of Logan Dam, five miles away. The air carries the dry, clean scent of cured grasses and turned soil, a stillness that seems to amplify the distant, rhythmic hum of a lone tractor working the fields toward the reaches of Foster Creek.

Raymond remains a place defined by the stubborn endurance of the prairie, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pulse of the local economy and the daily labor of its inhabitants. Generations have cultivated these fertile acres, turning the heavy, dark earth into a grid of wheat and corn that defines the neighborhood’s character and its connection to the wider world. Beyond the cultivated rows, the Fordham SCA provides a sanctuary for the native grasses and wildlife that have occupied these plains long before the first homesteads were staked. Life in Raymond moves with a deliberate, unhurried persistence, favoring the steady work of the harvest and the quiet solidarity of a community that understands the weight of the wind and the value of a clear, unbroken view.

About This Raymond Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Raymond, South Dakota. Coordinates: 44.912467, -97.938978. 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 Raymond includes the ZIP code (57258), telephone area code (605), county seat of Clark County (Clark), and school district assignment (Clark School District 12-2).

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.
