2022 Map of Granville West

About this map

Granville and Alton anchor this corner of Sioux County, where the agricultural grid of northwest Iowa is carved by the meandering courses of Granville Cr and Willow Cr. The landscape is defined by its Section Line roads, which form a regular mesh of gravel and paved thoroughfares such as Larch Ave and 470th St. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the township-and-range system, with modern rural addresses and county highways like Co Hwy L22 facilitating local transport between family farmsteads. To the south, the boundary between Sioux Co and Plymouth Co runs along 510th St, marking a jurisdictional transition just north of Deep Cr. The map provides a clear look at the spatial organization of these prairie communities, where small-town centers remain the primary hubs of local industry and social life.
