2018 Map of Grant City

About this map

The North Raccoon River carves a winding path through the heart of this Sac County landscape, its natural meanders contrasted by a strictly organized grid of agricultural section lines and engineered water management features like Drainage Ditch 25 and Drainage Ditch 31. The settlement of Auburn sits at the southern edge, while the historic site of Grant City is located near the river's bend, flanked by a cluster of community burial grounds including Oak Lawn Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Further north, the isolated grain elevator site at Ulmer and the Sac City Municipal Airport reflect the region's enduring ties to aviation and commercial transport. This 2018 survey detail provides an essential record for genealogists tracing family ties to the Lutheran Emanuel Cem or Saint Peters Lutheran Cem in the rural townships north of the river.
