2018 Map of Richford

About this map

Richford serves as the primary hub of this Waushara County landscape, where the Mecan River originates from the groundwater-fed Mecan Springs. The settlement is closely tied to the water, with the Richford Cem located just north of Rogers Pond. This area is defined by its high density of glacial kettle lakes and diverse drainage patterns, including Lake Virginia, Fish Lake, and Lyman Lake. The presence of multiple branches of Wedde Creek, such as N Br Wedde Cr and S Br Wedde Cr, alongside the W Be Little Pine Cr, illustrates the intricate hydrology of the central Wisconsin plains. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of burial grounds like Woodville Cem and traces the modern road network including Co RD GG and Co RD B that connects these rural communities.
