1962 Map of Sioux Falls West

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Skunk Creek and Willow Creek converge in the western outskirts of the city, defining the drainage patterns of Wayne and Benton townships during the early 1960s. The landscape is a transition between the rural prairie settlements of Ellis and Ellis Corner and the expanding urban footprint of Sioux Falls. This era shows the heavy influence of the railroad on local development, with the Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern lines cutting through the terrain. Civic and social life is anchored by a dense network of country schools, including Foster Sch, Lackey Sch, and Spring Valley Sch, alongside the Sunnycrest Ch and the prominent V A Hospital complex. In the northeast, Foss Field and the Elmwood Golf Course mark the edges of the city's growth into Mapleton township.
