About this map

Russiaville sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in southwestern Howard County, defined by a dense network of country roads and winding waterways. The town's layout is centered around streets like Seward St and S Liberty St, with Squirrel Cr cutting through the eastern edge. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of settlements such as New London and Shanghai, which remain anchored by historic family-named landmarks and local drainage systems.

The hydrology of the region is particularly detailed, showing how the Middle Fork Wildcat Cr and Wildcat Cr drain the surrounding farmlands. Numerous engineered waterways, including Harness Ditch, McDowell Ditch, and Dearing Ditch, crisscross the terrain between homesteads. These features highlight the importance of water management in sustaining the local farm economy and defining property lines across the prairie.
