South Dakota: Sioux Falls
Today, we're taking a closer look at Sioux Falls, the largest city in South Dakota and one of the highlights of our upcoming South Dakota DLC for American Truck Simulator. Whether you're delivering cargo or simply enjoying the drive, this city offers plenty of memorable sights and destinations to explore. Let's take a closer look!
Located in the southeastern corner of South Dakota, Sioux Falls is the state's largest city. Built around the Big Sioux River, the city has grown from a small historic settlement into a bustling city in the Midwest, while still retaining many of its historic landmarks. Our map team has worked to recreate many of the locations that make Sioux Falls instantly recognisable, giving drivers plenty to discover as they travel through the city.
Upon arriving in the city, you'll be greeted by the Welcome to Sioux Falls sign, and no visit would be complete without seeing Falls Park, where the city's famous waterfalls can be found. These cascading falls on the Big Sioux River are not only the inspiration behind the city's name but also one of South Dakota's top attractions.
Heading into Downtown Sioux Falls, you'll find a vibrant mix of historic architecture, modern businesses, and bustling streets. Keep an eye out for the beautifully recreated Minnehaha County Courthouse, an impressive quartzite building that has stood proudly in the city for well over a century. Nearby, you'll also pass the local bus station, where players can spot a colourful mural that celebrates the city's artistic culture and community spirit.
Through the heart of the city, you'll be able to spot several local landmarks, which include the Arc of Dreams sculpture and Fawick Park. History enthusiasts may also recognise the USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial, dedicated to the crew of the famous WWII battleship. The memorial features one of the ship's original main gun barrels alongside displays commemorating those who served aboard the vessel.
Beyond its landmarks, Sioux Falls is a bustling centre of industry, offering plenty of opportunities for hard-working truckers. From delivering to a food processing plant, warehouse, construction site, and rail supply depot, to transporting cargo for a metalworks, wind turbine factory, recreation vehicle dealership, and truck dealership, there's no shortage of work.
You'll also be able to haul materials & equipment to and from the city's impressive quarry, a nod to the region's long-standing quarrying industry that helped shape many of Sioux Falls' historic buildings.
Whether you're making deliveries or admiring its historic downtown, Sioux Falls is a fantastic destination to explore in our upcoming South Dakota DLC for American Truck Simulator. If you like what you've seen here today, be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist! We look forward to sharing more from this work-in-progress map expansion in the future. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
