About this map

Richland City and the surrounding agricultural lowlands of Spencer County are defined by an intricate network of water management features designed to drain the fertile plains. The landscape is crisscrossed by engineered waterways like Hooppole Ditch, Hatfield Drain, and Robert Richard Drain, which channel water away from settlements and toward larger arteries like Little Pigeon Cr. This system of drains and ditches reveals the historical effort to transform wetlands, such as the area near the Willow Pond Bed, into productive farmland.

Small rural clusters and intersections like Bullocktown, New Hope, and Sand Ridge dot the countryside, while Hatfield and Eureka anchor the southern portion of the map. Near the center, Renshaw Airport provides a modern navigational landmark amidst a grid of county roads named for local families, including Brown Chapel Rd and Myers Rd, offering a detailed view of the region's 21st-century rural infrastructure.
