Description: The Geographic Center of the Nation Monument is a monument located in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, marking the geographic center of the United States. It commemorates the point that was determined to be the center of the country when Alaska and Hawaii were added to the union in 1959. Although the precise center of the nation lies within private property, the Geographic Center of the Nation Monument can be found in Belle Fourche, western South Dakota. The National Geodetic Survey identified Belle Fourche as the nearest town to the actual site, leading to the monument's installation there. The monument boasts a 21-foot diameter and is conveniently situated adjacent to the Center of the Nation Visitor Center and the Tri-State Museum, making it accessible to visitors throughout the year.
