2015 Map of Ridgeview

About this map

Ridgeview serves as the central point of this high-plains landscape, situated along a straight highway corridor that cuts through the surrounding prairie. This 2015 survey highlights the rural character of Dewey County, where the settlement is anchored by Saint Josephs Cem just to the east. The land is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, most notably the evocatively named W Br Tall Prairie Chicken Cr and E Br Tall Prairie Chicken Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These watercourses, along with Cottonwood Cr, Virgin Cr, and Charlie Cr, dictate the movement and layout of section roads such as CR-15 and Bia-3. The survey provides an essential view of the traditional township and range divisions, showing how early 21st-century infrastructure follows the established patterns of the Great Plains.
