List of All Banks in South Dakota

South Dakota, one of the north-central prairie states of the United States, has an abundance of unspoiled nature, huge, fertile fields and historic pioneer cities. Sioux Falls, the region's largest city and home to the eponymous waterfall, is located near the eastern border with Minnesota. At the other end of South Dakota is Rapid City, the gateway to the Black Hills with its mountains, caves, forests and lakes.

The most famous landmark in South Dakota is the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in the southwest, which consists of four 18-meter-high, rock-hewn heads of former presidents of the United States (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln).

The world's largest rock sculpture, the Crazy Horse Memorial, is currently being built in the Black Hills and will be many times larger than Mount Rushmore. The horse's head alone is as big as all four of Mount Rushmore's presidents put together. When completed, this monumental sculpture in honor of Crazy Horse should be 171 m high and 195 m long.
