2015 Map of Richmond NE

About this map

Elm River meanders through this portion of Brown County, defining the drainage patterns and topography of the eastern Dakotas. The small settlement of Westport occupies the southeastern corner of the map, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural township. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape meticulously divided by the Public Land Survey System, with a rigid grid of rural roads such as 386th Ave and 117th St intersecting the natural curves of the river valley. To the west, the impoundment of Willow Creek forms Willow Creek Lake, a significant water feature in an otherwise strictly partitioned prairie landscape. Local genealogy and history are anchored at the Westport Cem, located just south of the main town site, providing a primary point of reference for researchers tracing family roots in this corner of the state.
