2015 Map of Little Sioux

About this map

The Missouri River floodplain defines the landscape of this 2015 survey, where the river serves as the natural boundary between Iowa and Nebraska. The settlement of Little Sioux remains the primary hub on the eastern side of the valley, positioned near the foot of the bluffs. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking family-connected sites such as Conyers Cemetery, Little Sioux Cemetery, and Ruffcorn Cemetery. Further inland, the drainage patterns of Crane Outlet and various ditches illustrate the agricultural management of the bottomlands between Harrison and Burt counties. The complex boundary lines highlight how the shifting course of the Missouri River has historically influenced legal jurisdictions along this riverine corridor.
