2014 Map of Grano

About this map

Grano sits on the high ground of Renville County, overlooking the expansive waters of Lake Darling in this North Dakota landscape. The settlement is defined by a grid of county roads and section lines, including CR-26 and CR-9, which facilitate travel across the prairie. Local history is anchored by the Grano Cem, located just west of the main cluster of buildings along the 41st Ave NW corridor. The terrain transitions from flat agricultural fields to the more complex topography surrounding the lake and the southern drainage of Mackobee Coulee. This geographic arrangement illustrates the balance between the region's managed farmland and the natural reservoir system that dictates much of the local land use.
