From McLaughlin to Larsen's: US-12 East and Over the River
McLaughlin sits where SD-63 meets US-12. Take US-12 east out of town: it runs southeast past Mahto and Snake Creek, then crosses the Missouri River on the US-12 bridge into Mobridge. The bridge is where US-12 leaves the Standing Rock reservation.
Google Maps timed the trip at 33 minutes on 9 October 2026, so allow 30 to 35 in good weather and more in winter, when this open stretch drifts. Check SD511 before you leave.
The last two blocks: over the bridge, US-12 becomes Grand Crossing Avenue, so turn right (south) on Main Street at the stoplight; Larsen's is two blocks down on the west side, with curb parking at the door.

Before You Leave McLaughlin
- Watch the clock: McLaughlin is on Mountain time, an hour behind Mobridge, and we close at 6pm Central (5pm Mountain), so leave McLaughlin by about 4:15 your time to make it before we lock up.
- Text photos first: send them to (605) 850-9455 and you get a quick initial answer before you commit to a 62-mile round trip. The final offer is confirmed at the counter once we see the item.
- Standing Rock ID works: a tribal ID with a photo is accepted for every pawn loan and sale, as are a driver's license, state ID, passport or military ID.
- Corson County regulars: customers come in regularly from Wakpala and Little Eagle as well as McLaughlin. McIntosh is the Corson County seat.
One Trip, Both Counters
On a 30-mile drive it helps that both counters are in one building: same-day pawn loans at 25% per 30 days with no credit check, gold and silver tested and weighed in front of you, diamond and estate jewelry, coins, and the jewelry store side, from repairs and $10 watch batteries to Black Hills Gold (the what we pawn guide covers what we accept).
