2012 Map of Richmond NE

About this map

The Elm River meanders through this portion of Brown County, carving a distinct hydrological pattern across the Westport Township landscape. The river is joined by Willow Cr, which feeds into the prominent Willow Creek Lake in the western section of the quadrangle. This area of South Dakota is defined by its rigid section-line road grid, where routes like 114th St and 384th Ave facilitate travel between scattered agricultural homesteads. Near the eastern edge, the Westport Cem provides a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing early families of the region. The intermittent drainage of Dry Run further illustrates the prairie terrain's water management challenges. The map captures the quiet, rural character of the northern plains, where natural waterways remain the most significant landmarks against the surveyed township and range lines.
