1967 Map of Grandin

About this map

Grandin sits at the nexus of the Red River Valley's agricultural and transportation corridors along the Traill and Cass County line. The Great Northern railroad parallels the main highway corridor, where planners in the late 1960s were already designating a 2 Lane Proposed Location for future infrastructure expansion. This transition era is marked by the contrast between these modern transit lines and the meandering path of the South Branch Elm River, which defines the western landscape of Bell and Bohnsack. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted across the prairie, including Grandin Cem near the townsite and the Rose Valley Cem further south. The map's surveyed sections reflect the orderly township grid system, with large agricultural tracts partitioned into Gardner, Gunkel, and Kinyon.
