1963 Map of Elk Point NE

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Big Sioux River winds through the heart of this early 1960s survey, marking the serpentine border between Plymouth County, Iowa, and Union County, South Dakota. The dramatic oxbows of the river dominate the lowlands of Elk Point, while the upland topography to the east is dissected by Cook Creek and Deer Creek. This landscape reflects a mid-century agricultural and industrial pattern, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad corridor runs parallel to localized extraction sites like the Gravel Pits and Shale Pit. Educational and community anchors are well-documented for genealogists, including Gill Sch, Fieldview Sch, and Murphy Sch. The southern portion of the map is defined by the distinct townships of Jefferson and Hancock, featuring the prominent Horseshoe Lake near the river’s edge.
