2011 Map of Grano

About this map

Lake Darling dominates the western half of this Renville County landscape, its winding shoreline carving a path through the prairie. The small community of Grano sits at the northern edge of the survey, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural grid. This 2011 documentation of the region shows a highly organized network of section roads, including 5th Ave W and 83rd St NW, which define the local transport patterns. Just south of the settlement, the Grano Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the area. The map illustrates how the natural curvature of the lake basin contrasts with the rigid, square-mile township geometry that characterizes this portion of North Dakota.
