1943 Map of Grant City

About this map

Grant City serves as a focal point for this rural landscape in Northwest Missouri during the early 1940s. The region is defined by the three branches of the Grand River—the Middle Fork, East Fork, and the main channel—which carve through the townships of Fletchall, Middle Fork, and Bogle. The transportation network is dominated by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and Chicago Great Western railroads, which facilitated the movement of agricultural goods from outlying settlements like Sheridan and Allendale.
