Where is Hornick?
Hornick is located in a special area near the Missouri River. It sits on a floodplain, which is flat land next to a river that can sometimes get covered by water. The city is also close to the Loess Hills, which are unique hills made of wind-blown soil.
The city covers a total area of about 0.26 square miles (0.67 square kilometers). Most of this area is land, with a very small part being water.
A Look at Hornick's History
Hornick has faced challenges, especially with floods. In 2019, the city was hit by floods that left parts of it under two feet of water. To help prevent future flooding, plans are in place to build a protective wall called a berm. This is similar to a temporary berm that helped protect the town in 1996.
In the past, Hornick had a train station that offered passenger service. This station, called Hornick station, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) because of its historical importance.
