2020 Map of Great Bend

About this map

Great Bend anchors this portion of Richland County, positioned where Co Rd 16 and 3rd St meet amidst the meandering course of the Wild Rice River. The landscape is defined by the section-line grid typical of the Red River Valley, with gravel and paved roads like 85th St SE and 81st St SE segmenting the agricultural expanse. Local history and genealogy are centered on several rural burial grounds, including the Divet Farm Cem in the northwest and the Trinity Cem located south of the main settlement. The Zion United Methodist Cem sits near the river's edge, illustrating the early community's connection to the local waterways. To the north, the S Br Antelope Cr cuts through the plains, providing natural drainage for the surrounding farmland.
