About this map

The Big Sioux River snakes through the heart of this border region, defining the boundary between Lincoln County, South Dakota, and Sioux County, Iowa. The small settlements of Fairview and Hudson anchor the southern reaches of the map, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the township and range lines. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of the Rock River with the Big Sioux River just east of Hudson.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the landscape, including the Bragstad Family Cem in the north and the Eden Cem near Hudson. The Sioux Cem and Fairview Cem further document the long-standing community roots in these river-valley townships. The map illustrates how local life remained centered around the fertile bottomlands and the transit corridors of Cherry Ave and Chestnut Ave during the mid-2010s.
