2013 Map of Ricketts

About this map

Ricketts serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of Crawford County, where the street grid is clearly defined by landmarks such as Ash St, Elm St, and 1st St. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a precise network of sectional roads, including Carriage Ave and German Ave, which facilitate movement through the agricultural terrain. Waterways dictate the natural topography, with the Soldier River and its tributary, Beaver Cr, cutting through the farmland. A notable engineering point is the Beaver Creek Bridge located on 180th St, which provides a vital crossing over the creek. The settlement of Adrian further illustrates the dispersed nature of local residence, connected by long straightaways like 320th St and D Ave. This survey demonstrates the orderly division of the Iowa prairie into managed plots and established rural communities.
