About this map

Morningside and the southern reaches of Sioux City dominate this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by educational institutions and civic expansion. The campus of Morningside College serves as a central anchor, surrounded by numerous neighborhood schools such as McKinley Sch and East High Sch. The urban grid transitions into significant memorial grounds, including the expansive Graceland Park Cemetery and Memorial Park Cemetery, before giving way to the open agricultural tracts of Liberty and Grange.

To the south, the community of Sergeant Bluff sits near the industrial and transport corridor of the Chicago and North Western railroad. The low-lying terrain is marked by essential water management features like the Farmers Ditch and the meandering Big Whiskey Creek. This period captures the region's post-war suburban growth, where former homesteads were replaced by landmarks like the County Home Water Tank and infrastructure such as the Sewage Disposal Ponds.
