About this map

The Big Sioux River carves a winding path along the border of South Dakota and Iowa, defining the western edge of this 2012 survey. At the southern end of the sheet, the town of Hudson serves as a local hub near the confluence of Pattee Cr and the river, while the Rock River joins from the east. The landscape is structured by a strict section-line road grid, including Cherry Ave and Chestnut Ave, connecting remote farmsteads and agricultural operations like the Ysselstein Dairy.

For genealogists and local historians, several small burial sites are documented throughout the township, including the Bragstad Family Cem, Sioux Cem, Fairview Cem, and Eden Cem. Recreational use of the river corridor is evident through the Big Sioux Public Hunting Area and the Settlers Canoe Access, showing how the floodplain remains central to the region's character even as modern agriculture occupies the surrounding plains.
