SIOUX FALLS South Dakota City Lines Map: PRINTSIOUX FALLS South Dakota. Home of numerous native tribes for centuries, European descendants "claimed" land around the Falls in the mid nineteenth century and city building began in earnest with the advent of the railroad in the 1880s. The Falls is the prime gem in an "emerald necklace" of parks and green spaces along the Big Sioux River which loops through the city. This is a PRINT of my original black ink line drawing.
