Route description

South Dakota Highway 36 begins at a junction with SD 79 approximately one mile south of Hermosa. From there, it travels southwest along a winding mountainous road for about 9 miles (14 km) before terminating in Custer State Park at a junction with US 16A.[2]

History

South Dakota 36 was implemented in 1926. At that time, it continued further west to the Wyoming border, utilizing the current route of US 16A to Custer, and U.S. Route 16 west of Custer; US 16 went northwest from Rapid City. The western terminus was pulled back to its present location around 1935, when US 16 was rerouted southwest through the Black Hills.

In 1933 and 1934, this route was also part of U.S. Route 216, which then continued north to Rapid City.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Custer County.
