2015 Map of Yankton

About this map

Yankton dominates the southeastern quadrant of this study, positioned near the bluff-lined banks of the Missouri River. The landscape transitions from the urban grid of the city, marked by local landmarks like the Chan Gurney Municipal Airport, into the agricultural reaches of Yankton County. Moving northwest, the rural character is defined by the small settlement of Utica and the rail-oriented Napa Junction, where the intersection of transit and topography shaped the regional development. Several watercourses, including Beaver Cr and Marne Cr, carve through the terrain, while Beaver Lake sits in the northern reaches near Beaver Lake Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant burial sites such as Garden of Memories Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, providing a precise record of the community's footprint in the early 21st century.
