About this map

The village of Grantfork serves as a northern anchor in this part of Madison County, where agricultural lands meet the expanding outskirts of Highland. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Sugar Fork, Sand Creek, and East Fork Silver Creek, which feed into the significant reservoir of Highland Silver Lake. This body of water, along with the Old City Reservoir, illustrates the managed water resources essential to the region's development.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, ranging from the Saint Gertrude Catholic Cemetery to smaller family and historic plots like Mundis Cemetery, Deck-Weder Cemetery, and Holtzgang Cemetery. Aviation history is noted at the Highland-Winet Airport, while local recreation is represented by the Highland Sportsmans Club Lake. The map details a transition from the traditional grid of rural roads, such as Albrecht Road, to the more modern suburban developments appearing near the southern boundary.
