South Dakota Highway 16 was a state route running across much of northern South Dakota.


HISTORY

South Dakota 16 was designated in the 1920's, as a number for the Yellowstone Trail across the state. When the U.S. highway system was implemented in 1926, this road was designated as part of U.S. Highway 12 . After a short period of dual signage, the SD 16 designation was dropped.
