The Visitor Center gets its name (and fame) from the fact that the official geographic center of the 50 states of the Union is in a pasture some 18 miles or so north of this town. Since Belle Fourche is the closest community to this auspicious point, the town has been designated at the "Geographical Center of the Nation Town" and a large granite compass rose has been erected in the park behind this information center to make for a more convenient access to the "Geographic Center" for visitors.
