==Geography== Campbell County lies on the north side of South Dakota; its north boundary line abuts the south boundary line of the state of [[North Dakota]]. The [[Missouri River]] flows southward along the county's west boundary line. The county terrain consists of semi-arid low rolling hills, a portion of which is dedicated to agriculture.<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Campbell+County,+SD/@45.7522782,-100.1982162,34353m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x52d6a6d34cf2bd6b:0xf5ada2107add2bd2!8m2!3d45.84151!4d-100.0676709 ''Campbell County SD'' Google Maps (accessed January 31, 2019)]</ref> The terrain slopes to the south and east, with its highest point occurring on the county's north boundary line, toward the NE corner: {{convert|2,060|ft|m|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title="Find an Altitude" Google Maps (accessed January 31, 2019) |url=https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190521043409/https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |archive-date=May 21, 2019 |access-date=January 31, 2019}}</ref> The county has a total area of {{convert|771|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|734|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|37|sqmi}} (4.8%) is water.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 22, 2012 |title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files |url=http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/counties_list_46.txt |access-date=March 23, 2015 |publisher=United States Census Bureau}}</ref> The eastern portion of South Dakota's counties (48 of 66) observe [[Central Time Zone|Central Time]]; the western counties (18 of 66) observe [[Mountain Time Zone|Mountain Time]].
