USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Big Sioux River snakes along the border of South Dakota and Iowa, defining the eastern edge of Canton and the small settlement of Beloit. This landscape in the early 1960s reflects a well-established agrarian and educational hub, centered around the Augustana Academy and the Canton Municipal Hospital. The rail-centered economy is evident as the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad bisects the terrain, connecting the river valley to the surrounding townships of Dayton, Canton, and Highland.
