About this map

Grant serves as the focal point of this Perkins County survey, positioned at the intersection of a significant regional rail corridor and local thoroughfares. The town's layout in the early 1970s is well-defined, showing a central Park and the nearby Fairground, which speak to the community's civic and social organization. Industrial and utility infrastructure is clearly marked, including a Substation south of the town center and Sewage Disposal Ponds situated on the outskirts.

The surrounding landscape is characterized by the Burlington Northern railroad, which cuts east-west through the terrain, anchoring the local economy. Agricultural and municipal development is evident through the placement of the Municipal Airport to the north and Fairview Cem to the west. Numerous wells are scattered throughout the quadrangle, highlighting the critical importance of groundwater management for this Nebraska plains community during this period.
