About this map

The Little Sioux River carves a winding path through this corner of Woodbury County, serving as the primary geographic anchor for the settlements of Correctionville and Anthon. The landscape is defined by the river’s broad floodplain and the numerous tributaries that feed it, including Threemile Cr, Pierson Cr, and Bacon Cr. To the west of Correctionville, the Sioux Bend Public Hunting Area and Walling River Access indicate the importance of the river corridor for local recreation and conservation.

Agricultural activity is a visible constant, represented by features like the Pithan Feedlot and a dense network of gravel and paved roads such as Wolf Creek Rd and Osceola Ave. An intriguing local label, Discord, sits along the river bluffs between the two main towns, hinting at the smaller named localities and historical place-names that persist in rural Iowa. The map captures the region's well-established section-line grid, which dictates the placement of nearly every farmstead and thoroughfare.
