Overview

Bennett County is a county in the U.S. state of South Dakota. The county lies completely within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. To the east is the Rosebud Indian Reservation, occupied by Sicangu Oyate, also known the Upper Brulé Sioux Nation and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe (RST), a branch of the Lakota people.

The North American continental pole of inaccessibility is in Bennett County, located 1024 miles from the nearest coastline, between Allen and Kyle (Oglala Lakota County) at 43.36°N 101.97°W.

Historically ranching and dry land farming have been the chief agricultural pursuits possible given climate and soil conditions.
