South Dakota Highway 24 was a state route located in west central and northwest South Dakota . HISTORY When initially established in the mid 1920's, the western terminus of South Dakota 24 was at Whitewood , west of Sturgis . It traveled east along what is now South Dakota Highway 34 to near Marcus, then northward to Faith . This northward segment was shifted east around 1931, to what is now South Dakota Highway 73 ; it became part of the latter's alignment in 1936. Around 1940, the western terminus was pushed a bit further, to U.S. Highway 85 . A branch of SD 24, called South Dakota Highway 24A , extended northwest from Whitewood to Belle Fourche . The mainline SD 24 was rerouted over this branch around 1948, to its new terminus at Belle Fourche. A further extension was made in the early 1950's west from Belle Fourche to the Wyoming border. Between 1957 and 1960, the route was eliminated by a westward extension of SD 34. EXTERNAL RESOURCES |
