The upper midwestern state of South Dakota, home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, was the 40th state to join the Union in 1889.

Our historic map archives include many vintage maps of South Dakota and the Dakota Territory before statehood. We also have old maps that illustrate the geography of the Black Hills, where miners flocked to in the late 1800s when gold was discovered in the area. We also have maps of the following counties: Aurora, Bon Homme, Clark, Deuel, Hanson, Kingsbury, Lincoln, McCook, Miner, Minnehaha, Moody, and Union.

If you’re looking for a specific South Dakota map and don't see it on this page, contact us, and we’ll check our archives. While we have an extensive collection of vintage maps, there remain many more we still need to restore, and chances are, we'll have what you're looking for.

About South Dakota

The land now known as the state of South Dakota was part of the famous Louisiana Purchase of 1803. A year later, in 1804, the Lewis and Clark expedition established the first settlement at Fort Pierre. As happened with other early settlements of this time, there were clashes with Native Indians. Most notably was the Battle of Wounded Knee (also known as the Wounded Knee Massacre), where U.S. Army troops killed approximately 150 Sioux Indians.

Before the Louisiana Purchase, the land was first inhabited by Paleoindian hunter-gatherers, followed by a people known as the Mount Builders, then the Arikara, and later the Sioux tribes (the Lakota, the Eastern Dakota, and the Western Dakota). In the mid-1700s, Europeans arrived and claimed the land for France.

Millions of bison once roamed South Dakota before 1800, but they were relentlessly hunted and killed until around 1900. By that time, they were nearly extinct, with only about 1,000 thought to be left out of an estimated 60,000 million killed. Restoration efforts have helped the bison population grow today to several hundred thousand. South Dakota is a leading U.S. producer of bison, as well as pheasants. Agriculture is one of the state’s top industries—its main crops are corn, hay, soybeans, and wheat.

Tourism also fuels South Dakota’s economy, with over two million people alone visiting the state to see Mount Rushmore’s sculptures of the faces of Presidents Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Washington. The popularity of this national memorial has earned South Dakota the nickname of Mount Rushmore State. Then there are the dramatic landscapes of Badlands National Park and the underground complex of caves at Wind Cave National Park, which also draw visitors worldwide.

Wildlife is abundant in South Dakota, including buffalo, deer, elk, antelope, jackrabbits, and prairie dogs. Ring-necked pheasants (the state bird) and golden and bald eagles are also prevalent. And in the spring and summer months, wildflowers bloom across the state.

Finally, did you know the world’s largest mountain carving is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota? It’s a carving of Crazy Horse that’s been in progress since 1948, and when it’s finally finished, it’ll be considered the Eighth Wonder of the World. The final carving will depict the Oglala Lakota warrior on a horse, pointing to his tribal land.

How to Choose the Right Map

Start with the place or subject that matters, then choose the artwork, format, and size that best fit your space and story.

Choose a hometown, favorite destination, family location, military base, park, lake, railroad, or other place that carries a personal connection.

Try searching by a city, county, state, landmark, year, or specific place name.

Look closely at the map year, geographic coverage, orientation, labels, landmarks, and overall visual style. Different maps of the same place can tell very different stories.

Use the product images and zoom tools to inspect streets, names, boundaries, and historic features.

Select an unframed print for flexibility, a ready-to-hang solid wood frame for a finished presentation, or a wrapped canvas for a clean gallery-style appearance.

Framed prints include protective plexiglass and arrive ready to hang.

Consider the wall, furniture, viewing distance, and amount of visual impact you want. Larger maps make striking focal points, while smaller sizes work well in offices, studies, entryways, and grouped displays.

Measure the available wall area before choosing your final print size.

Every map is available in several display options

Choose from museum-quality unframed prints, framed prints with solid wood frames, or 1.5-inch wrapped canvas.

Vintage North Dakota Maps

North Dakota Maps

The midwestern state of North Dakota, the top producer of honey in the nation, was the 39th state to join the Union in 1889. Our historic map archives include many vintage maps of North Dakota and the Dakota Territory (including an old Post Route map) before statehood. We also have maps for Sargent County and the cities of Mandan and Bismarck (the state’s capital). If you’re looking for a specific North Dakota map and don't see it on this page, contact us, and we’ll check our archives. While we have an extensive collection of vintage maps, there remain many more we still need to restore, and chances are, we'll have what you're looking for. North Dakota gets its name from the Lakota and Dakota Sioux Indian tribes who, among other tribes, inhabited the area before and after European settlers arrived in the early 18th century. Explorers and traders established the Dakota Territory at that time, despite resistance from the native population. By the late 1800s, there were large farms across the state’s prairies, and grain became lucrative. In 1872, the city of Bismarck was founded. In 1883 it became the capital of the Dakota Territory, then in 1889, the capital of North Dakota when it became a state (along with its neighboring South Dakota). Unfortunately, much of the city of Bismarck was destroyed in a fire in 1898 and had to be rebuilt. And in 1930, another fire destroyed the state capitol building amid the Great Depression. An art deco skyscraper nicknamed “The Prairie Palace” was built in its place. It still stands today. When it comes to the state’s geography, North Dakota has three distinct regions—the Red River Valley (flat, fertile land), the Drift Prairie and Missouri Plateau (with lakes, valleys, and rolling hills), and the Great Plains, which covers about half of the state. North Dakota is bordered by Canada to the north, Minnesota to the east, South Dakota to the south, and Montana to the west. An interesting footnote is that Rugby, North Dakota, unofficially holds the honor of being the geographic center of North America. Travelers to the area can stop by a marker for a photo opportunity. You might be surprised to learn that North Dakota is actually considered the least-visited state even though tourism is its third-largest industry. The state lacks a major attraction, but anglers and hunters are drawn to the state, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park attracts a fair number of visitors annually. Finally, we have some fun facts to share about North Dakota. For one, did you know that you can fit 46 Rhode Islands in the state? North Dakota also holds the Guinness World Record for the most snow angels made at the same time in one place. On Feb. 17, 2007, 8,962 people created snow angels on the state capitol grounds to break the previous record of 3,784. And although the cult classic Fargo was filmed in part in North Dakota, no filming took place in the city the movie was named after. However, you can see the movie’s infamous wood chipper if you visit the city. It’s on display at the Fargo-Moorhead Visitors Center.

Minnesota Maps

Did you know that in Minnesota about half of the population lives in the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis? Old maps of Minnesota, which became a state in 1858, show how these two cities grew over time. Minneapolis would eventually become known for its modern high-rises and St. Paul, the state’s capital, would retain more of its history. Our vintage map archives include many maps of the Twin Cities, as well as a collection that highlights nearly all counties in the state including Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, Washington, St. Louis, Stearns, Olmsted, Scott, and Wright. The most requested maps are typically for the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Bloomington, Duluth, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Woodbury, and St. Cloud. To browse our collection of old maps of Minnesota, use the menu in the upper right of this page to sort by popularity, average rating, latest additions, or price. If you are looking for a map for a specific Minnesota town and cannot find it, contact us and we will check our archives. Minnesota is known as the 'Land of 10,000 Lakes,' which is a bit of an understatement because the state actually has 11,842 lakes that are more than 10 acres in size. Lake Superior is both the largest and deepest lake in Minnesota. Over 200 rivers feed into Lake Superior, which has a surface area of over 31,700 square miles (about the size of the state of South Carolina). Major industries in Minnesota include agriculture, manufacturing, livestock (the state is the largest producer in the U.S. of farm-raised turkeys), mining of iron ore, and services such as healthcare. Some of the top companies headquartered in the state are Best Buy, General Mills, Hormel, Land O' Lakes, Target, and US Bancorp. Minnesota is also home to the well-known, top-ranked Mayo Clinic. The hospital is known for its vast team of specialists who treat some of the most difficult cases. Also in health, the world’s first successful open-heart operation was performed at the University of Minnesota on September 2, 1952. A five-year-old girl suffering from a heart defect was the patient. Following the surgery, the head surgeon, Dr. C. Walton Lillehei, became known as the 'Father of Open-Heart Surgery.' And finally, Bloomington, Minnesota is home to the largest mall in the United States. It is the seventh-largest mall in the entire world.

Vintage Nebraska Maps

Nebraska Maps

The midwestern state of Nebraska, known for its farming and agriculture, became a state in 1867. Today, there are countless vintage maps that spotlight the history of its cities, counties, and regions. In our archives, you’ll find old maps for the cities of Lincoln, Kearney, Nebraska City, Omaha, and Norfolk. Plus, we have maps for the counties of Lincoln, Jefferson, Burt, Adams, Wayne, Dakota, Antelope, Hamilton, Howard, and Stanton. And we also have beautiful state maps, such as a 1931 Nebraska map that’s been digitally restored on museum-quality paper with archival ink. To browse our collection of vintage Nebraska maps, use the menu in the upper right of this page to sort by popularity, average rating, latest additions, or price. If you’re looking for a specific Nebraska map that’s not available here, contact us. We will gladly check our archives for you. In Nebraska, agriculture (predominately cattle production) is the state's #1 industry. Beef production touches just about every Nebraskan in some way, and interestingly, the cow to human ratio in the state is approximately 3.5 cows per person. The cattle industry began in Nebraska in the late 1800s. The state’s vast prairies attracted early settlers. They discovered the prairies were perfect for cattle grazing, and once word got out, the population grew fast. Nebraska is also home to business giants like Berkshire Hathaway (led by CEO Warren Buffet), Union Pacific Railroad, TD Ameritrade, and outdoor retailer Cabela's. Although Nebraska is often overlooked as a travel destination, it has plenty of character, unique sights, and natural attractions. For example, the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha is a fantastic place to visit because it's where you can experience the world's largest indoor desert, indoor jungle, and nocturnal exhibit. You’ll find picture-perfect scenery at the Chimney Rock National Historic Site. It features a 480-foot dramatic rock spire formation that's about 25 million years old. In the mid-1800s, pioneers used it as a landmark while heading westward. Railroad enthusiasts won't want to miss the Golden Spike Tower that looks over Bailey Yard, the world's largest railroad yard. And for those who love quirky roadside attractions, Nebraska is where Carhenge (a duplicate of Stonehenge created with cars) is located. When it comes to living in Nebraska, if small-town life appeals to you, there are plenty of places in the state for you to consider putting down your roots. Most of the state's cities, about 89 percent of them, have fewer than 3,000 residents. If you prefer a more urban lifestyle, there's Nebraska's capital, Lincoln, and the larger city of Omaha. Famous people from Nebraska include dancer and actor Fred Astaire, former U.S. president Gerald Ford, actress Hilary Swank, and civil rights activist Malcolm X. Finally, did you know the official soft drink of Nebraska is Kool-Aid? A man named Edwin Elijah Perkins invented Kool-Aid in 1927 in Hastings, Nebraska. If you visit the Hastings Museum, there's an exhibit that explores the origin of Kool-Aid and includes memorabilia and artifacts.

Iowa Maps

Iowa was admitted to the union in 1846 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Since then, many historical maps have been created that feature the Hawkeye State. At Ted's Vintage Maps archives, we have an extensive collection of old Iowa maps that include nearly every county in the state (Polk, Linn, Scott, Johnson, Black Hawk, Woodbury, Story, Dubuque, and Dallas). Our most commonly requested maps for Iowa are typically for the cities of Des Moines (the state's capital), Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City, Iowa City, Waterloo, Ames, West Des Moines, Council Bluffs, and Dubuque. If you are looking for a specific Iowa map and don't see it on this page, contact us, and we will check our archives. Sweeping flat plains, gently rolling hills, and vast fields of farmland are the hallmark of Iowa's landscape. Agriculture is prominent in the Midwest state, where approximately 90 percent of the land is farmland. It's said that one family farm in Iowa grows enough to feed 279 people. The two major crops are corn (Iowa is the biggest corn producer in the U.S.) and soybeans, and in livestock, it's cattle and hogs. Iowa's economy is also driven by manufacturing, information technology, and green energy production, among other industries. In the capital of Des Moines, specifically, it's all about insurance and financial services. There are more than 80 insurance companies alone in the city. The state is also home to three state universities. Iowa State University, located in Ames, is the largest and is known for its research programs. The University of Iowa in Iowa City is the state's second-largest and is known for its law, health care, and fine arts programs. And the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls offers majors in business, education, humanities, arts, and more. Some famous names born in Iowa include television host Johnny Carson, actor John Wayne, professional wrestler Seth Rollins, and Herbert Hoover, the 31st president of the United States. And remember the 1989 movie "Field of Dreams" starring actor Kevin Costner? The famous house and field you see in the movie are in Dyersville, Iowa, about 25 miles west of Dubuque. Considered by many to be one of the best sports movies of all time, "Field of Dreams" was filmed on two neighboring farms. Today, the area is a popular tourist attraction, and Major League Baseball even built its own field adjacent to the original one used in the movie. Finally, did you know the house in the famous American Gothic painting is a real place? The painter, Grant Wood, spotted the home while traveling through Eldon, Iowa, and painted it (along with two people he imagined would live in such a house), when he returned home to Cedar Rapids. The famous 1930 painting is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the house that inspired it draws visitors to the small town of Eldon, Iowa.
