2018 Map of Great Bend

About this map

The settlement of Great Bend sits at a prominent bend in the Wild Rice River, serving as a central point in this part of Richland County. This 2018 survey illustrates a landscape deeply defined by the Public Land Survey System, with a precise grid of rural roads such as Co Rd 16 and 88th St SE carving through the agricultural terrain. The drainage patterns of the S Br Antelope Cr and the winding river define the remaining uncultivated areas, creating a sharp contrast between the geometric precision of the township boundaries and the fluid path of the water. For those researching local heritage, the Trinity Cem south of the main township remains a key landmark for genealogical study, while the overall road network provides a detailed layout of the modern rural infrastructure.
