About this map

The Floyd River valley serves as a primary corridor through this portion of Woodbury and Plymouth Counties, where the Chicago and North Western railroad tracks parallel the water. The settlement of James sits north of the Sioux City corporate boundary, while the northern neighborhoods of the city itself, including Leeds and Springdale, show the residential and industrial interface of the mid-1990s. Landmarks such as the St Michaels Sch and Garfin Park anchor these established communities.

Agricultural patterns dominate the upland terrain, divided by a grid of numbered roads like 300th Street and Lone Tree Road. Notable family and local history markers are found in the Hungerford Cem and the various utilities that support the region, including several radio towers and a Gaging Station on the river. Recreational spaces like Bacon Creek Park and a local Golf Course indicate the area's transition from rural farming to suburban expansion.
