Ricketts sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in the Loess Hills region, positioned near the intersection of S Main St and D Ave. The settlement is defined by its proximity to the winding course of the Soldier River, which meanders through the northern townships. This modern survey illustrates the traditional section-line road grid of western Iowa, where routes like Co Rd D54 and Co Rd L51 partition the rolling drainage basins. To the south, the Middle Soldier River and Beaver Cr create a complex network of waterways that historically influenced field patterns and farmstead placement. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Ida Co and Crawford Co, showing how local governance aligns with the long-established township and range system of the American Midwest.
