When U.S. 212 was assigned in 1927, SD 22 was moved south onto a new alignment, beginning atSouth Dakota Highway 45 near Howell, and ending at what was thenSouth Dakota Highway 41 (currentU.S. Highway 281 ) south of Redfield. This route was truncated in the mid 1930's to the current alignment, although there was a north-south segment between Hazel and U.S. Highway 212. This portion of the segment was deleted in 1992.List of Counties
