2012 Map of Jefferson

About this map

The town of Jefferson sits within a triangle of land shaped by the Big Sioux River to the east and the Missouri River to the south. This 2012 survey shows the community’s grid anchored by Main St, surrounded by the expansive agricultural plots and grid-roads typical of the tri-state border region. Local history is anchored at the Civil Bend Cem to the southwest, while more contemporary land use is evident at the Park Jefferson Racetrack along 332nd St. To the southeast, the residential developments surrounding McCook Lake represent a significant transition from the riverside bottomlands to established lakeside living. The landscape remains defined by its proximity to the water, with features like the Levee Trl and the winding course of the Missouri River along the southern edge illustrating the ongoing relationship between the settlement and its riparian environment.
