Rakitno field
Open-knowledge reference entry
Rakitno Field is a karst plateau and geographical region about 70 km2 in Bosnia and Herzegovina in an area of Široki Brijeg, West Herzegovina Canton.
Geography
Rakitno, along with Posuško and Virsko polje, Tribistovo and the mountainous area around Blidinje Lake, is one of the four plateaus of the Posuško area. Around the center of the municipality, there are at the crossroads of important communications: Mostar - Imotski - Split, Mostar - Tomislavgrad - Livno, and Ploče - Ljubuški - Grude - Rama - Gornji Vakuf - Travnik. The valley between Poklečani, Vrpolje and Sutina is rich in water, and three rivers flow into it: Jelica, Zmijevac and Ugrovača.
To the northwest is the larger Duvanjsko field, to the west is the Posuško field with Posušje, and to the east is the Čabulja mountain. It stretches in a northwest-southeast direction. It is 8.5 km long and three kilometers wide with an area of 15 km2. The tributary of the Lištica Ugrovača flows through the field, which occasionally floods it. The altitude of the field is about 900 meters above sea level.

Why this record matters
“Rakitno field” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Rakitno, field and Open-knowledge provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 22, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q20527305. Authority coordinates are 43.540, 17.442. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
