Riverton lies along the Spring River in southeastern Kansas, where wooded riverbanks and gently rolling farmland mark the state’s corner near Missouri and Oklahoma. The community stands on the historic Route 66 corridor, which brought cross-country motorists through Cherokee County during the highway’s early decades. Just west of town, the 1923 Rainbow Bridge carries the former road over Brush Creek; its concrete Marsh arch is a rare survivor from Route 66’s original era. That road heritage still gives this small settlement a place on journeys following the Mother Road.
