2024 Map of Riga

About this map

Riga sits at a junction of rail and road in this part of McHenry County, where the landscape is defined by the numerous wetlands and glacial lakes characteristic of the region. To the northwest, the significant waters of Buffalo Lodge Lake dominate the edge of the survey, while the smaller Rock Lake lies just north of the settlement. The map provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure of the area, featuring the well-preserved Thompson Cem located in the section north of the rail line. This 2024 edition reflects the modern grid of local roads, such as 57th St N, which serves as a primary east-west artery, and the Denbigh Trl which cuts through the eastern sections. The presence of these specific landmarks and the carefully mapped terrain elevations offer a detailed view of the contemporary North Dakota prairie, revealing how family landmarks and water bodies remain the anchors of this rural community.
