1979 Map of Granton

About this map

Granton and the surrounding township of Grant appear here in the late 1970s, defined by a landscape of small dairy farms and a network of creeks. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts across the northern half of the sheet, passing through the village and near local landmarks like the High Sch and Park. The rural character is underscored by the high density of family and community burial grounds, including Windfall Cem, Yolo Cem, and the Pine Circle Cem.
