Riverside sits at the confluence where the English River meets the Iowa River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural townships. The town's grid, featuring streets from 1st St to 4th St, is hemmed in by water to the south and east, creating a distinct boundary between the settlement and the river bottomlands. This area is particularly rich for family history research, as evidenced by the dense concentration of burial sites throughout the landscape, including Saint Vincent Cem, Mount Olivet Cem, and Riverside Cem all clustered near the town site. Further out, the terrain is shaped by several drainages such as Davis Cr and Goose Cr, with rural landmarks like Pfeiffer Field and the Cumberland Havel Cem marking the transition into the higher ground of t76n r7w and t77n r6w.
