Route description
editSD 258 begins at a diamond interchange with exit 308 of I-90 and travels north. The route enters the city of Plankinton almost immediately and continues north. The highway turns east onto Davenport Street in Plankinton and a curve takes the highway to the northeast. After leaving Plankinton, the road curves back to the east and continues through open plains for about one mile (1.6 km) before reaching its eastern terminus at an intersection with US 281. The roadway continues east of this intersection as County Road 34.[2][3]
SD 258 is maintained by SDDOT. In 2012, the traffic on the road was measured in average annual daily traffic. SD 258 was measured at 900 vehicles.[1]

South Dakota Highway 203 (SD 203) is a 0.957-mile-long (1.540 km) poorly signed spur off SD 258, located along the eastern outskirts of Plankinton. It connects the town, via SD 258, to the Aurora Plains Academy (a youth treatment facility and school).[citation needed]
SD 203 begins at an intersection with SD 258, immediately crossing a railroad track before heading north through flat plains to pass by the Plankinton baseball field and have an intersection with County Road 32 (CR 32, E 3rd Street), before passing by a derby racetrack and a cemetery. The highway has an intersection with 10th Street before state maintenance ends just shortly after passing by one of the entrances to Aurora Plains Academy, with the road continuing north as a gravel county road (County Road 39 (CR 39), 387th Avenue).[citation needed]
The entire length of SD 203 is a paved, rural, two-lane state highway. [4]
The entire route is in Plankinton Township, Aurora County.
