About this map

Greenfield sits at the northeastern corner of this 1970s landscape, positioned along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. The terrain transitions from the agricultural plateaus of Dixon and Lincoln townships into the more dissected drainage basins of the south. This area is defined by a network of waterways including Horse Creek and Lariat Creek, which cut through the land as they move toward the Canadian border.

Outdoor recreation and local history are anchored by the American Horse Lake State Hunting and Fishing Area in the southwest, where American Horse Canyon and American Horse Lake create a distinct topographical break. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Richland Cem near the center of the sheet, while other scattered landmarks like the Relay station and various fords along the creeks offer evidence of the rural infrastructure of Blaine County.
