1955 Map of Richland

About this map

The Wakarusa River carves a deep valley through the southern half of this mid-century survey, defining the agricultural landscape of Monmouth and Tecumseh townships. The village of Richland serves as the local hub near the riverbanks, anchored by the Richland Cem and the Missouri Pacific railroad line that follows the valley floor. Further north, the upland prairie is dotted with institutional landmarks of rural life, including Salem Ch, Pleasant Hill Ch, and several country schools.
