2016 Map of Litchfield South

About this map

Lake Ripley dominates the landscape just south of Litchfield, serving as a central geographical landmark for this portion of Meeker County. This 2016 survey reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the southern town limits, including W Ripley St and S Holcombe Ave, into a rural expanse characterized by numerous glacial basins. Small, established communities like Beckville and Strout anchor the southern reaches of the map, while historical burial grounds such as Ness Cem and Lake Ripley Cem provide vital touchpoints for local genealogists. Aviation history is also present through both the Litchfield Municipal Airport and the L & M Aerodrome. The terrain is defined by a high density of water bodies, ranging from the large Lake Minnie-Belle to smaller features like Youngstrom Lake and Chicken Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region.
