Aurora County, South Dakota
Aurora County sits in the southeastern part of South Dakota. It’s a place where the prairie stretches far. Farmers here know the land like the back of their hand.
The county’s named after the Roman goddess of dawn, and boy, do they get some beautiful sunrises. Plankinton, the county seat, is home to about 700 folks.
Fishing’s pretty good at Firesteel Creek if you’re into that sort of thing. There’s not much change in Aurora County, and that’s just how the locals like it.
