About this map

The Missouri River floodplain south of Sioux City defines this 2018 survey, where the river channel serves as the shifting boundary between Iowa and Nebraska. The small community of Salix sits positioned between the river's backwaters and the fertile agricultural plains to the east. The landscape is a mix of managed water systems like the Farmers Canal and natural features such as Browns Lake, reflecting a long history of flood control and land reclamation along the Missouri’s edge.

Local history researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, including Liberty Township Cem, Saint Joseph's Cem, and Walnut Grove Cem, which anchor the rural sections of Woodbury County. The map also records the Lakeport Farms Airport and the complex web of section-line roads and local thoroughfares like Co Hwy K35 and Old Hwy 75 that connect the riverside industrial sites near Port Neal Rd to the surrounding farmsteads.
