Planning a hunt near Herreid? The Campbell County hunting map is really two maps: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. What this Campbell County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Campbell County hunting map
For land near Vanderbilt Archeological Site, public hunting areas are mapped by South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks, with rules that vary by area.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the District III regional GIS map; it maps each assessed parcel from Mound City to Missouri River. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Artas and click the parcel itself. For property near Herreid, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county asks for it first.
Private land and parcel lines
For private ground, the District III regional GIS map is the free source, so you can see who owns the land near Pollock.
Getting your bearings
Mound City serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Herreid, Artas, Pollock, and Vanderbilt Archeological Site, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 1,340 people call Campbell County home (Census estimate, 2023) across about 734 square miles. Landmarks such as Missouri River help you orient on the aerial.
Scouting from the aerial
On the aerial around Artas, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Artas, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Mound City with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Recorded documents worth pulling
When the details count, request the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds; the parcel line is a drawing of it, and that holds around Herreid too. If you're looking near Missouri River, bring the book and page shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Contacting owners
Out toward Mound City, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Rules and responsibility
Check South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules for land around Vanderbilt Archeological Site.
Reading the legal description
South Dakota is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Vanderbilt Archeological Site reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Herreid odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Artas before you request a deed or survey.
Good habits afield
Leave gates as you found them on land near Artas, and carry the owner's contact info; owners remember good guests.
Limits of the parcel data
For a tract near Vanderbilt Archeological Site, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on the ground. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Pollock might lag behind.
Offices that can help
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Herreid go to the Director of Equalization, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Pollock go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Neighboring parcel maps
Campbell County meets Emmons County, ND, McIntosh County, ND, Corson County, McPherson County, and Walworth County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Vanderbilt Archeological Site that runs to the line may be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map too. Closer to Vanderbilt Archeological Site, the Platbookmapper state page lists each bordering county map for South Dakota.
