2020 Map of Grand View

About this map

Olson Lake and Carrie Lake anchor this prairie landscape in Burke County, where the topography is defined by numerous small wetlands and glacial depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau. The settlement of Grand View sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. Historical foundations of the area are preserved in the locations of Scandia Cem and Old Bethel Cem, which mark the presence of early settlers and their community centers. The map detail reflects the organized grid of section lines and county routes, such as Co Rd 16, which provide the primary framework for movement across this northern plains environment. This 2020 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, where family legacies are tied to the specific sections of land surveyed over a century ago.
