2011 Map of Grainton

About this map

Grainton stands as a focal point in this high-plains landscape of Perkins County, situated at a cross-section of early transportation routes and modern farm-to-market roads. The settlement pattern is defined by the rigid township and range grid, where arterial routes like Grover Ave and Garver Ave provide structure to the agricultural expanse. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the infrastructure at Harms Reservoir and Harms Dam. The drainage of Blackwood Creek meanders across the southern and central sections of the quadrangle, contrasting with the straight-line precision of the roadway network. This 2011 survey also documents the alignment of Old Hwy 77, tracing the historical movement patterns through the Nebraska panhandle region.
