About this map

The Big Sioux River carves a winding path along the border between Iowa and South Dakota, anchoring the agricultural landscape around the town of Akron. This 2010 survey illustrates the town’s grid and municipal infrastructure, including the Akron Post Office and Akron Municipal Airport. Further south, the smaller settlement of Westfield sits near the confluence of Westfield Creek and the river.

Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, such as Riverside Cemetery and Saint Josephs Cemetery on the outskirts of Akron, and the Westfield Township Cemetery near the southern settlement. The topography is defined by the river’s floodplain and various tributaries like Beaver Creek, Union Creek, and Sayles Creek, which break up the geometric precision of the rural road network, including River Rd and numerous numbered section lines.
