2017 Map of Riverton

About this map

Riverton occupies a strategic bend of the Republican River in southern Nebraska, just north of the Nebraska-Kansas border. This modern survey illustrates a highly managed riparian landscape where agricultural water rights are central to the geography. The town's grid, featuring streets like Main St and Lincoln St, is bordered by the Franklin Canal and the Franklin S Side Pump Canal, which together divert river water to sustain the surrounding valley. Family history is anchored by the presence of Stevens Cem and Fuller Cem, situated on the bluffs overlooking the river plain. Beyond the irrigated bottoms, the terrain transitions into a complex network of drainages such as Lohff Cr and School Cr, punctuated by small upland impoundments like Kugler Reservoir and Hawkins Reservoir that characterize the water storage needs of this borderland region.
