Piedmont

The landscape around Piedmont is a transition from rolling Great Plains grassland to the forested eastern foothills of the Black Hills, which has shaped both the town’s low-density form and livelihoods tied to the land. This small Meade County community lies north of Rapid City, where open ranch country begins to give way to ponderosa pine and the granite terrain of western South Dakota. The Black Hills hold enduring cultural importance for the Lakota and are also central to the state’s outdoor-recreation economy. Piedmont suits travellers looking to understand the quieter residential and rural edge of this nationally known mountain region.
