Morphology
South + Dakota
The phrase is a compositional place-name: 'South' signals the southern part of the entity named 'Dakota', so a learner who knows the direction word and recognizes 'Dakota' as a place-name will infer it denotes a geographic region/state. The exact identity or landmarks (e.g., Mount Rushmore) require world knowledge, but the basic meaning 'the southern Dakota region/state' is directly derivable from the constituents and is cross-linguistically transparent.
Etymology
South Dakota comes from the Dakota people, and the word Dakota means 'friends' or 'allies' in their language. When the large Dakota area was split, the southern part became South Dakota, so the name shows the direction South and the people who lived there.
