About this map

The confluence of the West Nishnabotna River and East Nishnabotna River serves as the geographical centerpiece for this corner of Fremont County. The settlement of Riverton sits at this hydrologic junction, its residential blocks organized alphabetically from G St up to Q St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the broad floodplains and intricate wetlands created by these waterways, including the drainage of Spring Br and Mill Cr.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the township, including Redd Cem to the northwest, Stauch Cem and Utterback Cem to the south, and the Wesleyan Cem further east. The map detail reflects a deeply agricultural territory structured by a precise section-line road grid, with local transit facilitated by routes like State Hwy 42 and Co Rd J46 which cross the river valleys to connect these rural communities.
