1953 Map of Gratz

Broad floodplains known as bottoms, including Clements Bottom, Browns Bottom, and Hardin Bottom, provide the primary level ground for agriculture amidst the surrounding dissected plateau. Evidence of local industry is captured by the Quarry near Lockport and a Mine located further downstream. Genealogists and local historians will find family-named landmarks such as the Wallace Cem and prominent elevations like Cemetery Hill that provide a glimpse into the 20th-century rural landscape.
