2018 Map of Ireton

About this map

Ireton sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Sioux County, where a rigid grid of section roads meets the winding courses of Indian Cr and Spring Cr. The settlement pattern is defined by small rural hubs and the legacies of early congregations, as seen in the clustered cemeteries surrounding the town, including Pleasant Hill Cem and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem. To the south, across the border in Plymouth County, the village of Craig anchors the lower portion of the map. The drainage of Mink Cr carves subtle relief into the prairie, illustrating the natural watercourses that originally guided the development of these farmstead-rich townships. For genealogists, the map is a primary reference for locating specific burial grounds like the Dunkard Cem and the Saint Johns Evangelical Lutheran Cem, which remain as distinct landmarks of the area's pioneer heritage.
