2014 Map of Grafton

About this map

Grafton serves as the focal point of this Walsh County survey, situated where the various branches of the Park River converge. The landscape is defined by the three primary tributaries—the N Br Park River, Middle Br Park River, and S Br Park River—which snake across the plains toward their confluence near the town center. This hydrological network dictated the local street grid and early settlement patterns, as seen in the clustered development along Commerce St and Detweiler Dr. To the east of the primary residential area lies Saint Johns Cem, providing a point of interest for genealogists tracking local families. The surrounding territory is partitioned by a precise grid of rural roads, including ND-17 and several county routes like CR-9, which facilitate movement across this agricultural corridor.
