1972 Map of Granby
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
George Washington Carver National Monument occupies a significant portion of the northwest quadrant of this survey, marking the site of the scientist’s childhood home along Carver Branch. The surrounding landscape is a study in transitional land use, where the agricultural expanses of Diamond Grove Prairie and Olivers Prairie meet the industrial legacy of local lead and zinc mining. Evidence of this extraction is found in the extensive Tailings piles and multiple Quarry sites scattered near Granby. The transportation network is anchored by the St Louis-San Francisco railroad, which skirts the winding course of Shoal Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites including Granby Memorial Cem, Hazelwood Cem, and several smaller family or local grounds like Kenney Cem and Gibson Cem.
