2015 Map of Hospers

About this map

Hospers and the surrounding prairie of Sioux County are defined by the winding course of the Floyd River, which cuts a diagonal path through this agricultural landscape. The 2015 survey reveals a disciplined grid of rural roads, including Kennedy Ave and Marsh Ave, connecting the small settlements and homesteads of the region. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as Saint Anthonys Cem and Hospers Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the community's genealogy. To the west, the hamlet of Newkirk sits along Co Hwy B40, while the northern edge of Alton appears at the southern map margin. This modern topographic study illustrates the persistence of the traditional Iowa township structure, with Floyd Township Cem and various section-line roads like 410th St and 430th St maintaining the spatial organization established over a century ago.
