2020 Map of Grano NE

About this map

Little Deep Cr meanders southeast across this section of Renville County, providing the primary hydrological drainage for a landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the rigid geometry of North Dakota's rural infrastructure, where township lines like t161n r84w and t160n r84w dictate the placement of the section-line road network. This grid is comprised of routes such as 92nd St NW and 41st Ave NW, which partition the prairie into the traditional agricultural blocks that have characterized the region since settlement. Local transit is anchored by Co Rd 9 and Co Rd 9 S, tracing the eastern edge of the survey area. Small prairie potholes and wetlands are scattered throughout the sections, particularly visible in the north, reflecting the glacial topography of the drift prairie.
