Jones County, South Dakota

Jones Location Map 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.
