1959 Map of Sioux City
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Missouri River serves as the central artery for this mid-century landscape, carving a border between South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. In the northwest, the Yankton Indian Reservation borders the recently formed Lewis and Clark Lake, while further downstream, the Winnebago Indian Reservation and Omaha Indian Reservation occupy the Nebraska side of the valley. The hub of Sioux City is shown just before the major expansion of the interstate system, with its regional connections still heavily reliant on the Chicago and North Western and Illinois Central railroads. The rural character of the surrounding counties is meticulously documented through an exhaustive network of numbered country schools, such as Reading School No 5 and Washington School No 3, alongside landmarks like the Norfolk State Hospital and St Johns Church and School.
