About this map

The Big Sioux River carves a winding path along the boundary between South Dakota and Iowa, defining the northeastern corner of this Lincoln County landscape. This 2021 survey reveals a deeply agricultural region patterned by a rigid grid of section roads like Arthur Ave and 280th St, punctuated by the small settlement of Moe. The area is notably dense with sites of genealogical importance, particularly concentrated around the Lutheran heritage of the region.

Several distinct burial grounds are documented, including North Trinity Cem, Trinity Lutheran Cem South, and Lands Lutheran Cem located near the town of Moe. Recreational use of the river corridor is highlighted by the Jay Heath Canoe & Kayak Trl, while the western hills feature a network of paths such as the Woodland Trl and Blue Diamond Multi-Use Trl. Drainage across the prairie is managed by Pattee Creek and E Brule Cr, which flow toward the primary river valley.
