Mapped cameras turn up in 19 places across South Dakota, and 4 of those places have the 10 mapped cameras at which this site measures a place.

Where in South Dakota the cameras are mapped

1 to 9 cameras10 to 49 cameras
In one square
  • 1 to 9 cameras
  • 10 to 49 cameras

Each square is a quarter of a degree on a side, 17 miles from top to bottom, and is shaded by the number of mapped cameras inside it. A square is drawn for South Dakota when the nearest place with a mapped camera is in South Dakota, so the squares along the state line are approximate, and one that straddles the line counts the cameras on both sides.

Places in South Dakota with a page

So far, 1 place in South Dakota has its own page. The list runs from the shortest typical distance to the longest: the distance from a typical point inside the place to the nearest mapped camera. The share is the part of the area inside the place’s boundary that lies within half a mile of one.

Measured places without a page

At least 10 cameras are mapped in each of the 3 places below, enough for them to be measured the same way, but none has a page of its own. Pages are added in stages, starting where a mapped camera is typically closest. When a place gets a page of its own is set out with the list of states.

Each line gives the typical distance to the nearest mapped camera, the share of the area inside the boundary that lies within half a mile of one, and the mapped cameras inside it. The order is the same: shortest typical distance first.

Smaller places with mapped cameras

Places in South Dakota with fewer than 10 mapped cameras are not measured, because a few pins say little about a whole place. These are the largest of them.

How these figures are worked out

Every camera here is a pin a volunteer added to OpenStreetMap, so each count is a floor. A place is its U.S. Census Bureau boundary, and a camera belongs to it when its pin falls inside. For each measured place, a grid of sample points is laid inside the boundary, and the typical distance is the median straight-line distance from those points to the nearest mapped camera of any make.
