Richfield: MN 62: T.H.62 WB @ Bloomington Ave
Richfield extends along Minnehaha Creek in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, a setting that helped transform farmland into one of the Twin Cities’ early suburbs. Incorporated in 1908, the city developed south of Minneapolis as residential districts spread around regional road links. Minnesota State Highway 62, commonly called the Crosstown, crosses Richfield east–west and meets Penn Avenue South near its western side. Mature tree cover, detached homes and commercial corridors give the city a settled urban-suburban character. Its compact scale and proximity to Minneapolis and Bloomington keep Richfield closely connected to the wider metro area.

Forests, prairie and a vast lake country define much of Minnesota – these environments sustain farming, recreation and communities accustomed to long, cold winters. The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca in the north, then crosses the state on its way south, while Minnesota’s Lake Superior shoreline brings a markedly different, rocky Great Lakes character to the northeast. Minneapolis and Saint Paul form the Twin Cities on the river, the state’s principal urban centre. Minnesota is also home to Dakota and Ojibwe communities whose cultural presence remains central to the region.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
