2015 Map of Richmond

About this map

Richmond sits at the heart of this Ray County landscape, where the street grid of the city meets the winding branches of the Crooked River. The map reveals a dense network of family and community burial grounds, such as Sunny Slope Cemetery, Woodland Cemetery, and the Shotwell Cemetery near the city center, while outlying sites like Watkins Cemetery and McDonald Cemetery are found in the surrounding agricultural sections. The hydrology is dominated by the complex convergence of the W Fork Crooked River and E Fork Crooked River, which carve through the terrain north of town. To the northwest, the settlement of Dockery remains a distinct point of interest near McDonald Br. This survey illustrates how contemporary water management, seen at Ray County Community Lake and Mononame (17) Reservoir, has been integrated into the older rural township structure.
