2015 Map of Canton

About this map

The Big Sioux River serves as a winding natural boundary between South Dakota and Iowa on this 2015 survey, separating Lincoln County from Lyon and Sioux counties. The city of Canton sits as a central hub, defined by a grid of streets including E Lynn Ave and W 5th St, while the settlement of Beloit lies further south near a bend in the river. This landscape is marked by unique cultural features like the Canton Mounds, providing a look into the long human history along these bluffs. The map records important local landmarks for genealogists and researchers, such as the Canton Cem and Beloit Cem, alongside regional infrastructure like the Canton Municipal Airport. Tributaries such as Beaver Cr, Little Beaver Cr, and Nelson Cr drain the surrounding agricultural lands, illustrating the complex hydrology that has shaped the border region for generations.
