2011 Map of Grano NE

About this map

Little Deep Creek meanders southeastward across this high-plains landscape, carving a subtle valley through the rigid section-line grid of Renville County. This map documents a sparsely settled agricultural region defined by a remarkably consistent network of rural roads, including 92nd St NW at the northern boundary and 84th St NW at the southern edge. The rectilinear pattern of the land is maintained by a series of gravel or dirt tracks such as 41st Ave NW and 37th Ave NW, which divide the terrain into traditional mile-square sections. Unlike many areas with clustered settlements, this portion of North Dakota is characterized by its open agrarian space, where the only break in the geometric precision is the natural, winding path of the creek.
