1983 Map of Grasston

About this map

Grasston stands near the confluence of local water systems and rail lines in this Kanabec County survey. The Snake River meanders across the central landscape, fed by tributaries like Mud Creek and Rice Creek. To the south, the Rice Creek State Wildlife Management Area preserves a significant portion of the wetland-rich terrain typical of east-central Minnesota. The transportation network is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad, which runs parallel to the county border. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Grasston Union Cem near the river and Grass Lake Cem further south. The map also documents various municipal and agricultural features, from the Townhall in the north to numerous Gravel Pits and drainage infrastructure such as County Ditch No 1.
