2014 Map of Richland

About this map

Richland serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in eastern Nebraska, situated along the corridor of Us-30 and E Front St. The settlement is defined by its proximity to the vast braided channels of the Platte River, which forms the boundary between Colfax and Butler counties. This 2014 survey reveals a highly managed hydraulic landscape where natural waterways like Lost Cr and Deer Cr are supplemented by man-made irrigation infrastructure, including the Barnholdt Ditch and Shonka Ditch. For those researching local roots, the Richland Cem stands to the north of town, while the river valley features prominent landforms like Hewitt Island and Tomek Island. The area around Lake McAllister further illustrates the low-lying, water-rich nature of the terrain between the primary riverbed and the developed uplands.
