2018 Map of Boyden

About this map

Boyden and Hull anchor this section of Sioux County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a rigorous network of section-line roads. The landscape is primarily shaped by the W Br Floyd River, which meanders through the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle, and Burr Oak Cr in the northwest. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds established near early church sites, including the Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Cem and Saint John Cem in the north, and the Boyden Cem situated just outside the town limits. The towns themselves show the classic development of prairie settlements, with Boyden's street grid featuring names like Railroad St and Pleasant St, while Hull sits at the western edge along Black Forest Rd.
