Potter County, South Dakota
Potter County is right in the middle of South Dakota, slightly to the north. Ever heard of Gettysburg? Not the one in Pennsylvania. This Gettysburg is Potter County’s seat.
The county is flat as a pancake, they say. But don’t let that fool you. There’s beauty in simplicity. The Missouri River forms the county’s western border. Fishing and hunting are both good here.
Farmers work the land and grow wheat, corn, and soybeans. It’s quiet. Peaceful. The kind of place where storms roll in fast across the plains. You can see them coming for miles.
