About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders along the border of Iowa and South Dakota, defining the geography of this rural landscape at the start of the 21st century. The settlement of Chatsworth sits on the eastern bank, while Big Springs lies further west, marking established points of community in a region dominated by agricultural grid lines and river-fed tributaries. The land is drained by a network of waterways including West Union Creek, East Union Creek, and Sixmile Creek, which flow toward the river's winding path.

Genealogists can find important local history at the Old Big Springs Cemetery and Mount Hope Cemetery, providing a connection to the early residents of Sioux County. The map details a transition from the river bottomlands to the surrounding plateaus, connected by rural routes such as River Rd and School House Rd. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, punctuated by simple infrastructure like the Highway Twelve Rest Area.
