Thunder Hawk, South Dakota runs along side of the North Dakota
border on the Standing Rock Reservation. Thunder Hawk was named
after a famous Sioux Indian leader, Chief Thunder Hawk. The
building of the railroad and onset of the homesteaders in the
early 1900s was the beginning of the small prairie town of
Thunder Hawk, SD. The depression and droughts of the 1930s
started the exodus of the homesteaders followed by the closing
of the rail lines. Unfortunately there isnt much left of the
actual Townsite of Thunder Hawk today. Thunder Hawk, SD seems to
be made up of large farms with an occasional Prairie Dog town
along side of the highway. Picture your next travel stop in
