About this map

The Floyd River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2013 landscape north of Sioux City, where the waterway meanders through a mix of agricultural fields and expanding residential pockets. The settlement of James sits at a crossroads near the river, while further south, the suburban transition becomes more apparent through the neighborhoods of Evergreen Village, Leeds, and Springdale. This era shows a distinctive pattern of land use where large rural tracts are increasingly punctuated by organized residential developments like Holiday Village.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the lowlands, following the natural path established by the river. In the northern reaches, the area near Hinton maintains a more open, rural character, featuring the Deer Run Golf Course and small tributaries like Little Whisky Cr. The map captures a moment of suburban growth pressing northward from the city into the traditional farmland of Woodbury County.
