Welcome to Lookout ...

So far, we found very little information about Lookout. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Lookout to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Lookout - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Lookout, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Lookout , we believe that it would have been located within present day Pennington County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Lookout, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was in a book dated 1895.

Time Zone: The area where Lookout was located is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT) and observes daylight saving time

If Lookout still existed, it would have been in the (605) area code.

Communities Also Named Lookout ...

Using our Gazetteer, we found that there are 27 communities that are also named Lookout - they are located in Alabama, Arkansas, California (2), Idaho (2), Indiana, Kansas (2), Kentucky, Louisiana (2), Maine, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania (2), Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Adding Lookout to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Lookout was in the book titled Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).

For more details, see References and Mentions for Lookout.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Lookout, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of South Dakota's counties, including Pennington, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
