2010 Map of Sioux Valley

About this map

Sioux Valley sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Jackson County, where the intricate drainage of the Minnesota-Iowa border region is meticulously documented. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Little Sioux River and the West Fork Little Sioux River, alongside significant water bodies like Rush Lake and Skunk Lake. This era shows a highly organized rural grid, where township roads such as 350th Ave and 780th St provide access to isolated homesteads and local landmarks. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of community burial grounds, including the Norwegian Cemetery, Saint Pauls Cemetery, and the Sioux Valley Cemetery. The extensive network of engineered waterways, such as Judicial Ditch Number Twenty-eight, illustrates the long-standing efforts to manage the prairie wetlands for cultivation.
