1970 Map of Richmond NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

United Church of the Brethren Cem sits along the northern edge of this Dakota prairie landscape, marking a quiet center for local genealogy in a region defined by township sections and seasonal watercourses. Surveyed in 1970, the map illustrates the rural transition between Franklin, Lincoln, and Carlisle townships. The drainage patterns of Willow Creek and Dry Run carve subtle relief into the terrain, eventually feeding into Willow Creek Lake in the east. An interesting relic of former transportation is the Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally through the southern sections, hinting at the shifting logistics of the northern plains. This survey provides a precise record of the land before modern agricultural consolidation, documenting specific Gravel Pits, a local Townhall, and the intricate network of field lines that structured mid-century farm life in the McPherson and Brown County borderlands.
