context_page_description: South Dakota Highway 19 is a 86.974-mile state highway in southeastern South Dakota, United States. It connects the Nebraska state line, south of Vermillion, with the southeastern part of the Madison area, via Viborg, Hurley, Parker, and Humboldt. SD 19 formerly entered Centerville, but was shifted to the south. Its former path was redesignated as SD 19A.
