Traversing the heart of the Mount Rushmore State reveals a rich tapestry of unique settlements and rural landmarks. In today’s preview, we are showcasing a fresh selection of towns our environment artists are meticulously crafting for the upcoming South Dakota DLC for American Truck Simulator.
Redfield
Widely recognized as the “Pheasant Capital of the World,” Redfield is steeped in hunting tradition and teeming with local wildlife. As you navigate the town’s streets, you will find a quintessential Midwestern aesthetic and a tranquil atmosphere that pays homage to its sporting heritage.
Martin
Acting as a vital commercial artery for the surrounding plains, Martin offers an intimate look at life in the American heartland. While it maintains a modest footprint, its importance to the region is undeniable. Our team has gone to great lengths to preserve its authenticity, from the local storefronts to the vast, unobstructed horizons that frame the town.
Mission
Situated within the Rosebud Indian Reservation, Mission is a community where deep cultural roots meet rustic charm. As you travel through, take note of the specific details that reflect the town’s identity, all set against a backdrop of undulating grasslands.
Selby
A serene settlement of just over 600 residents, Selby is nestled among fertile farmlands and serves as a peaceful waypoint for long-haul drivers. Its strategic location on a major highway makes it a natural pitstop, where players can experience a laid-back agricultural vibe and wide-open spaces.
Sturgis
World-renowned for hosting its legendary annual motorcycle pilgrimage, Sturgis is a town that pulses with energy. Beyond the high-octane events, it offers stunning scenery characterized by wooded hills and technical, winding roads. Keep an eye out for the iconic Sturgis landmark perched atop Sly Hill as you approach!
Wall
Located just off Interstate 90, Wall is a premier destination for anyone exploring western South Dakota. It is home to a world-famous roadside attraction that has come to define Americana tourism. We have painstakingly recreated the experience of driving toward Wall, including the sequence of quirky billboards that have greeted travelers for generations.
While South Dakota boasts countless vibrant communities, we must carefully curate which ones to include within our 1:20 scale map. This selection process ensures that our digital recreation feels authentic and expansive while maintaining an engaging rhythm for your deliveries.
We hope this look at the diverse settlements of the Mount Rushmore State has piqued your interest! Each location plays a vital role in capturing the spirit of the region.
