Raymond is a very small community located on the western edge of Clark County, South Dakota.

German, English, French, Swedish, and Dutch people make up the population of this small town. Population stands at about 70, a 14% decrease from the 2000 census.

As with most small towns, Raymond struggles to stay afloat economically. Many businesses have left or gone out of business but the people in the community take pride in what they can do.

The community is located about a mile off US Highway 212, about an hour from Watertown, the closest large community.

Logan Consolidated Schools was located 1 mile east and 3 miles south of Raymond on the Carpenter road. The rural school housed the kindergarten through senior classes. The athletic teams had the mascot of the Arrows. The school was closed in 1962 and the high school enrollment that year consisted of 12 students.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
