How to Use This Wentworth, South Dakota Map

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

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.

Wentworth emerges from the expansive prairie as a quiet congregation of structures framed by the vast, unyielding reach of the South Dakota sky. It lies 23.2 miles south-southwest of Brookings, SD (from Brookings, SD: bearing 201°T), and is situated 7.5 miles east of Madison. The horizon remains largely unbroken, save for the distant, faint silhouette of Rocky Ridge that haunts the western sky on the clearest of days. Nearby, the waters of Milwaukee Lake capture the shifting hues of the atmosphere, reflecting a spectrum of bruised purples and golds as the sun descends. To the south, the landscape softens where Bachelor Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth, nourishing the tall grasses that sway in a perpetual, rhythmic dance. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, smelling faintly of turned soil and the dry, sweet scent of cured hay that defines the transition of the seasons.

Wentworth maintains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored by the cycles of the surrounding agricultural land that provides the lifeblood of the regional economy. The nearby Wentworth serves as a quiet sanctuary for local wildlife, offering a preserved patch of native terrain that stands in contrast to the orderly, geometric patterns of the cultivated fields. Generations have worked this soil, building a life defined by the resilience required to manage the extremes of the plains, where the wind acts as a constant, invisible companion to the labor of the day. In the quiet intersections of the grid, the character of the place reveals itself not in grand gestures, but in the enduring steadiness of its people, who observe the steady turn of the calendar against the backdrop of the enduring, open prairie.

About This Wentworth Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wentworth, South Dakota. Coordinates: 43.997195, -96.964224. 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 Wentworth includes the ZIP code (57075), telephone area code (605), county seat of Lake County (Madison), and school district assignment (Chester School District 39-1).

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.
