2013 Map of Akron

About this map

Akron serves as the focal point of this Plymouth County landscape, where the town’s street grid meets the winding course of the Big Sioux River. The map highlights the town's core, centered on Main St and Iowa St, extending toward the Country Club Dr area. The surrounding Iowa countryside is defined by a dense network of watercourses and rural roads, including Union Cr, Beaver Cr, and Westfield Cr, which drain into the river valley. To the south, the smaller settlement of Westfield occupies a bend in the river near the junction of several drainage systems. The presence of Lake Nixon and the meandering path of Sayles Creek suggest the complex hydrology of the floodplain at the South Dakota border, providing a clear record of the area's agricultural and riverine layout in the early 21st century.
