SynopsisSouth Dakota fills the landscape with geologic diversity, from the glaciated rolling prairies in the east, across the Missouri River, and west to the rugged Badlands Wall and granitic domes of the Black Hills. Written for the layperson and amply illustrated with photographs, maps, and diagrams, this book describes and interprets the rocks and landforms visible along the state's highways and the geology that lies hidden beneath prairie sod and in caves and mine shafts. Included are geologic tours of the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and many other points of interest., This book gracefully ties the glaciated eastern half of the state, where artesian wells flow with water that fell as precipitation in the Black Hills, with the arid western half, where sedimentary layers contain fossilized sea creatures.

Easy-to-reference geological formations in specific locations.
I've purchased several of the Roadside Geology books for different states. Being a novice, I appreciate the format with easy-to-understand text. The book is conveniently divided by highway areas and features black-and-white photos and some graphs to help illustrate what is being explained. It's a quick reference to what kind of geological formations you're seeing as you travel, with history of that particular area's geology. If you don't know which mountains are volcanic formations and which are glacier-formed, this could be a helpful and interesting guide for your travels.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Roadside South Dakota
The entire "Roadside" series is genius. My only complaint is that it pays less attention to back roads. Only so much space I guess.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
