2024 Map of Granville NW

About this map

Little Deep Creek meanders across this rural expanse of McHenry County, defining the drainage patterns for the surrounding prairie. This agricultural landscape is organized by a strict grid of section lines and gravel roads, including 18th Ave N and 72nd St N, which reflect the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Saint Olaf Lutheran Cem in the northwest and Saline Cem to the east provides critical markers of early settlement and community life in this portion of North Dakota. The map illustrates how the watercourse of Little Deep Creek dictates the few variations in an otherwise uniform terrain of farmsteads and open fields.
