Best Answer

Most of South Dakota is covered by the Great Plains. The plains of South Dakota are covered in hills and buttes with areas of level ground.

The Black Hills are located in western South Dakota and extend into eastern Wyoming. Mount Rushmore National Memorial is located in the Black Hills. Harney Peak, also located in the Black Hills, is the state's highest point.

A very prominent area of South Dakota is the Badlands, located in southwestern South Dakota. In prehistoric times these areas were swampy and very wet. Now they are very dry, desert-like areas with jutting rock formations.
