About this map

Grandin serves as the primary hub for this fertile Red River Valley landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad near the border of Traill and Cass Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Elm River and its South Branch, which carve intricate meanders across the flat agricultural sections of Bohnsack, Kelso, and Bell.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks for tracing family history, including the Grandin Cemetery north of town and the isolated Rose Valley Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of a Landing Strip and multiple Radio Towers suggests the modernization of the rural landscape by the late twentieth century, even as the township boundaries of Kinyon and Gunkel maintain the traditional surveyor's grid established decades earlier.
