About this map

The Little Sioux River meanders across this Clay County landscape, defining the topography of the region as it flows toward the city of Spencer. To the north, the small settlement of Fostoria sits along the highway, surrounded by a grid of agricultural section lines and rural routes like Co Hwy B17. The convergence of the Little Sioux and the Ocheyedan River just south of the city center highlights the importance of these waterways to the local geography.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several significant burial sites, including Riverside Cem near the riverbanks, North Lawn Memorial Cem on the northern edge of town, and the more isolated Evergreen Cem to the west. Infrastructure is well-documented, from the Spencer Municipal Airport to the specific crossing at the Little Sioux River Bridge, alongside a detailed street layout of Spencer including W Milwaukee St and E 18th St.
