Save the Date! SDSPLS 44th Annual Convention January 6th - 8th, 2027 Mitchell, SD The Big Sioux Chapter is hard at work planning the 44th Annual Convention and there are going to be some exciting new events and activities this year! We are looking for new and additional sponsors and exhibitors this year. If you have not sponsored in the past -- please consider doing so this year. Then, go through the list of people you work with throughout the year -- safety equipment suppliers, truck modifiers, the folks you buy your hats from -- and send the list and contact information to Nancy. Sponsors and vendors are needed so we can continually build our programs and events. Thank you, in advance! The Planning Committee also encourages you to start putting together your Scholarship Auction Items. We're looking for some fun new additions this year, so team up in your office and put together a hunting/fishing package, a weekend get-a-way, or another great idea that can help us raise money for the scholarship fund! Check back the week of November 16th for Registration, Hotel and Sponsorship information! We look forward to seeing you in Mitchell! |

This is your opportunity to purchase a 3 1/2" diameter bronze replica of the SDSPLS Medallion placed in the U.S. 250th Anniversary Tri-State Survey Marker! This beautiful medallion is a replica of the medallion used in the marker, along with those of the Minnesota Society of Professional Surveyors and the North Dakota Society of Professional Land Surveyors, near the Minnesota-North Dakota-South Dakota tri-state border. The location of the monument is near the site of the "Witness Initial Monument" referenced in the original 1891 survey notes associated with establishing the North Dakota-South Dakota border along the 7th Standard Parallel. Estimated delivery of your medallion will be at the SDSPLS Convention, January 6th - 8th, 2027. |
The top of the monument as it looks in the field. In addition to the South Dakota medallion, both Minnesota and North Dakota also have a medallion on the monument.
SDSPLS members on site for the dedication of the monument. A plaque, to be placed adjacent to the monument, is currently being fabricated. |
