About this map

The Big Sioux River carves a winding path through this region, serving as the natural boundary between Iowa and South Dakota. This intersection of state lines and county borders includes portions of Woodbury and Union Counties, with Plymouth County situated just to the north. The urban footprint of Sioux City is well-defined, showing the residential and institutional layout as it stood in the mid-2010s. Notable educational landmarks like Briar Cliff Univ and Saint Luke's Coll anchor the city's northern neighborhoods.

Outside the city center, the terrain transitions into the forested bluffs of Stone State Park. These ridges provide a backdrop for the suburban developments of Dakota Dunes and Riverside. Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds documented, including Calvary Cem and the more remote Hancock Township Cem. The map also captures the confluence of the Big Sioux River and the Floyd River as they approach their southern destination.
