2012 Map of Yankton

About this map

Yankton College sits at the heart of the developed grid in this 2012 study of the Missouri River valley bluffs. The map illustrates a city extending northward toward the Chan Gurney Municipal Airport, while the surrounding rural landscape of Yankton County remains defined by a precise section-line road network. Hydrological features like Marne Cr and Beaver Cr cut across the high plains, influencing the placement of local landmarks such as Garden of Memories Cem and Sacred Heart Cem. To the northwest, the small settlement of Napa Junction serves as a reminder of the region's rail-oriented development. This survey documents the intersection of academic institutions, aviation infrastructure, and traditional agricultural land use during the early 21st century.
