2016 Map of Granada

About this map

The settlement of Granada serves as the focal point of this Southern Minnesota agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes like W Creamery St and Co Hwy 32. The map reveals a highly engineered water management system essential for local farming, defined by an extensive network of drainage features including Judicial Ditch Number Eight, Judicial Ditch Number Three, and Judicial Ditch Number Twentyeight. These channels weave between natural water bodies such as Lake Imogene and Little Hall Lake. For those researching family history in the area, the map precisely locates Center Creek Cem and Rose Lake Cem. The presence of the community of Imogene further south highlights the area's rural development pattern, where small settlements were positioned to support the surrounding prairie township's productivity.
