Which South Dakota Residents Are Cooking Meth? This Map Shows You

A simple, interactive map shows you exactly how close recently busted meth labs are to your address. Many South Dakotans will be shocked by how many homemade labs have been unearthed in the North Star State.

According to the South Dakota Governor's Office, one of the state's top priorities is battling the meth epidemic in the Mount Rushmore State:

The South Dakota Highway Patrol is working daily with local, state, and federal partners to target, disrupt, and dismantle groups that are trafficking drugs in and into South Dakota. Volunteers from our South Dakota National Guard are also helping secure our southern border. Thousands of pounds of meth and other dangerous drugs are pouring across the border into our country – unfortunately, too much of it ends up in South Dakota.
