Places and county names
Show or hide county names, cities, towns and villages in Map details. Place names and dots are kept together and automatically thinned out where space is tight. Choose their colours to suit your map.
The new online state maps use Census 2025 county and equivalent boundaries. Connecticut uses its nine planning regions. The ready-made free artwork retains its original boundaries, as explained below.

Mapping South Dakota by county
South Dakota’s county boundaries help divide broad coverage across the Missouri River, eastern communities and the Black Hills area. The reference list uses the modern name Oglala Lakota County; older material may use the former name Shannon County.
Meade County and Perkins County are among South Dakota’s largest county-level areas by land area in the 2025 Census Gazetteer. A county-wide allocation can therefore be much broader than a local customer patch. Add town and city names to give your county territories local context.

South Dakota county map questions
How do I download the free South Dakota county map?
Use the green Download FREE PDF button on this page. No colouring-tool account is needed. The vector PDF includes county outlines, main highways, towns and cities. You can enlarge the preview first to check the detail.
How many counties does South Dakota have?
South Dakota has 66 counties in the 2025 Census Gazetteer. The alphabetical reference list below uses that source, not a new survey of the boundaries in the older map artwork. County, city and ZIP boundaries are different geographies.
Can I colour the counties and add my own key?
Yes. Open this state’s county colouring tool, choose a colour and click the counties you want to include. Add your own title and colour key to explain your sales territories, service coverage or other groups. The link opens this state on its own. You can also combine up to three touching states, with Alaska as the separate-inset exception.
Can I try the colouring tool before buying?
Yes. Load the county map and try colouring it and adding a key before buying access. Saving and downloading your finished map require the relevant map access. The free PDF on this page is a separate ready-made download.
Is the free PDF the same as the editable artwork bundle?
No. The free PDF is a ready-made vector map. The map-files purchase supplies a bundle of artwork formats for design work; follow the map-files link to check the included formats, current price and licence. Buying artwork files is separate from buying access to the online colouring tool.
What does access to the county maps cost?
One state costs £25 + VAT for 12 months. Buy your selected states together, or choose all 50 state county maps for £150 + VAT. Existing state access is excluded from the selected-state price. You can load and customise maps in trial mode before buying.
Can I use these maps for navigation or legal boundary checks?
No. These are visual reference and planning maps, not navigation, surveying or legal boundary records. A copyright year does not identify the date of the underlying boundaries. Check an authoritative source for decisions that depend on an exact boundary, or ask GBMaps about a particular area.
