Tom – I’ve always known South Dakota as divided into “East River” and “West River,” but had never really thought about North Dakota in the same way. The more I think about it though, the more it makes sense.

I completely agree! The Black Hills area really is tough to pigeon-hole into one category.

I consider the Black Hills its own special island in the prairie!

Officially, the USGS considers the 100 degree west meridian as the beginning of the west. I concur with that. West and East Dakota have always been considered more reality than North and South Dakota, so that puts the Black Hills right in the WEST.
