1963 Map of Sioux City South

About this map

The Missouri River and Big Sioux River converge at this tri-state junction, defining a landscape shaped by shifting watercourses and interstate commerce during the early 1960s. The urban centers of Sioux City, Iowa, and South Sioux City, Nebraska, dominate the northern half of the sheet, connected by a network of the Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern railroads. To the south, the terrain opens into the wide floodplain where Crystal Lake and Millis Beach suggest a history of seasonal recreation near the river bends.
