Federated state of the north central USA, 199,730 km², 781,919
residents (2006 estimate), 4 inhabitants / km², capital: Pierre. Borders: North
Dakota (N), Minnesota and Iowa (E), Nebraska (S), Wyoming and Montana (W). "For
the geographical map see the lemma of the 7th volume." "The geographical map is
on page 524 of the 7th volume."
The territory, mostly flat, rises however to the W in the Black Hills (Harney
Peak, 2207 m) and to the E in the ridge of the Coteau des Prairies, and is
crossed by the Missouri River with the tributaries Moreau, Cheyenne, White,
James and Big Sioux. The economy is based on agriculture, which finds the best
terrains in the eastern part of the state; massive irrigation works, however,
allowed greater exploitation of the driest areas in the W of Missouri. Main
products are cereals (rye, wheat, oats), flax and potatoes; cattle breeding
(cattle, sheep and pigs) is widespread. Gold (Homestake mine, the largest in the
USA), beryl, silver, iron, uranium and oil are extracted from the subsoil; the
industrial sector, not very developed, mainly concerns food products and
woodworking. The urban population is increasing, but the rural one continues to
prevail, albeit with a narrow margin, as also shown by the absence of large
centers and the greater diffusion of smaller ones, located on the banks of large
rivers. Important cities, besides the capital, are Sioux Falls, on the eponymous
river, Aberdeen and Huron, on the Dakota River, and Rapid City in the silver
hills of the Black Hills, on the Missouri River. It became a federated state in
1889.
