1962 Map of Sioux Falls West

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Sioux Falls and its westward expansion dominate this survey, which details the city’s post-war suburban growth and industrial infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Big Sioux River and Skunk Creek, with the city's western reach nearing the settlement of Ellis. Public institutions and community landmarks are prominently mapped, including the VA Hospital, Childrens Home, and O'Gorman High Sch. The map records a transition from rural townships like Benton and Wayne to a more developed urban fringe, marked by the extensive footprint of Foss Field (Sioux Falls Municipal Airport) and numerous Gravel Pits along the riverbanks. Local history is preserved in rural school sites such as Spring Valley Sch and Foster Sch, while the presence of the Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern railroads highlights the enduring importance of rail transport to the region's economy.
