2013 Map of Richfield

About this map

Richfield serves as the primary hub of this high-desert landscape, situated where the Little Wood River meanders across the plain. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's agricultural viability, featuring the West Main Canal, East Main Canal, and Dietrich Main Canal. These man-made waterways, along with numerous laterals like Lateral 1076 and Lateral 1137, cut across the natural drainage patterns of Cottonwood Slough and Jim Byrns Slough. To the southwest, the small settlement of Marley is positioned along Marley Rd, while the solitary rise of Johnson Butte provides a rare point of elevation in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 4 Mile Ranch Rd, illustrates the systematic division of land that defines the rural character of Lincoln County.
