Salix

Few communities in western Iowa have a history as closely tied to agriculture on the Missouri River floodplain as Salix. This small Woodbury County community lies in the broad Missouri River valley south of Sioux City, where level fields and fertile river-bottom soils have long shaped local life. Salix takes its name from the Latin botanical term for willow, an apt reference for a settlement in a river landscape. The Loess Hills rise east of the valley, adding a distinctive landform to a region otherwise marked by open farmland and wide horizons.
