Jones County, South Dakota

Jones County is close to the middle of the state. It’s wide open country. It’s the kind that makes you feel small. But in a good way, of course.
Murdo is the biggest town and is home of the Pioneer Auto Show. Car buffs love it. The White River runs through the county. So does I-90.
About 1,000 people live here. Ranching’s big and so is winter wheat. The wind never stops blowing. Neither do the stories. Old-timers will tell you about the Dust Bowl days. Or how the county got its name. It’s a place with deep roots. And a long memory.
