About this map

Granville anchors this McHenry County landscape, showing its organized town grid south of the Granville Cemetery. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of Egg Creek and South Egg Creek, which drain a region of glacial lakes and coulees. To the northeast, the significant waters of Buffalo Lodge Lake and the smaller North Lake dominate the geography, while the prominence of Buffalo Lodge Butte rises above the eastern plains.

A rigid network of section-line roads, including 12th Ave N and 60th St N, organizes the agricultural landscape, illustrating the systematic land division characteristic of the North Dakota prairies. The map records several water management and topographic markers, such as the Buffalo Creek Dam and Hay Coulee, which highlight how the natural drainage patterns have been integrated into the local township structure.
