About this map

The Missouri River and Big Sioux River converge at this tri-state junction, where the 1960s urban footprint of Sioux City, Iowa, meets its neighbors in Nebraska and South Dakota. In South Sioux City, Nebraska, the map documents a dense grid of neighborhood schools including Lewis and Clark Sch, Bryan Sch, and St Michael Sch. Along the river bend, Crystal Lake serves as a prominent recreational feature near North Shore and Millis Beach, while the surrounding terrain is marked by industrial activity at various sandpits and gravel pits.

Further south, Dakota City appears as a distinct hub, while the sprawling grounds of the Sioux City Municipal Airport occupy the river bottomlands to the southeast. The landscape is heavily influenced by the rail networks of the Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern, which weave through the river valleys and connect the industrial and residential centers of Dakota and Woodbury counties.
