2018 Map of Sioux Rapids

About this map

The Little Sioux River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Clay and Buena Vista counties, anchoring the communities of Sioux Rapids and Linn Grove. This landscape is defined by the transition from upland agricultural plots to the alluvial valleys of Soldier Cr and Bluebird Cr. The distribution of rural landmarks indicates a deeply rooted local history, with several township and family-named cemeteries such as Fanny Fern Cem and Lone Tree Cem positioned near the river bluffs. In the north, the small settlement of Cornell sits among a rigid grid of country roads, including 450th ST and 460th ST, which segment the terrain into the townships of T95N and T94N. The concentration of features around Sioux Rapids on Main St and N River Rd highlights its role as a regional hub in this part of Northwest Iowa.
