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

ZIP code: 57371.Ree Heights occupies a high, expansive plateau where the horizon stretches into a vast, unyielding line of pale blue sky meeting golden prairie. It lies 49.8 miles west-northwest of Huron, SD (from Huron, SD: bearing 283°T), and is situated 57.7 miles east of Pierre. Low, grassy swells rise toward the Ree Heights, a modest range that breaks the monotony of the flatlands, providing a vantage point over the quiet, dry earth. Only a mile away, Little Turtle Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil, its banks often brittle and quiet under the weight of the summer sun. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, amber clarity, turning the long grasses into fine, metallic threads that shimmer before the cool shadows of evening settle over the land.
Agriculture defines the pulse of Ree Heights, as the rhythm of the seasons dictates the slow, deliberate work of the local farmers who tend to the surrounding fields. The history of the area is tied to the iron rails that once brought settlers to this interior expanse, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and quiet independence. For those seeking the stillness of the natural world, the Dakota provides a sanctuary six miles distant, while the waters of Lake Louise and the depression of Campbell Gulch offer a slight, welcome variation in the topography. Life in Ree Heights moves with the steady, predictable pace of a pendulum, grounded in the seasonal yields of the soil and the enduring solitude of the plains.

About This Ree Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ree Heights, South Dakota. Coordinates: 44.518594, -99.200106. 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 Ree Heights includes the ZIP code (57371), telephone area code (605), county seat of Hand County (Miller), and school district assignment (Miller Area School District 29-4).
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.
