Very hard quiz. 9/20. I was just in SD this summer, it probably would have been 3/20 but I've been to about 6 of these now.

14/20. I live in Watertown so it isn't that challenging. I liked seeing our not so famous town starring in a quiz!

16/20 From Nebraska, I love South Dakota! Any state with towns in the 3000s in their top 20 largest cities is great in my book.
