Contact the county auditor and the register of deeds in what ever county the land is in. You most certainly deserve right of access. I live in North Dakota. I know that South Dakota also understands "right of access" to real property.

Yeah, I would think you'd have an easement for access but I don't know about land law in SD. Some easements exist because folks just continued to go across the land to get to their property. If you haven't exercised access for a time, without an easement in the deed, things might get a little sticky. Who, if any, have used the land in the recent past?

Easement HAS to be allowed....sue for it.
