2010 Map of Granite Falls

About this map

Minnesota River hydraulics and civic infrastructure anchor this 2010 study of the Granite Falls area. The river winds through the landscape, marked by industrial and natural landmarks such as the Minnesota River Dam and the cascades of Minnesota Falls. This reach of the river valley is characterized by a high density of rural and municipal burial grounds, providing significant data for genealogical research. Documented sites include Granite Falls City Cemetery, Union Cemetery, Saint Pauls Cemetery, Saint Andrews Cemetery, and Hillcrest Cemetery, each reflecting the community's long-established settlement patterns.
