1948 Map of Grenora

About this map

Grenora stands as the primary hub in this corner of Williams County, anchored by the Great Northern railroad line that cuts through the northern plains. This 1946 survey, published just after the war, reveals a landscape defined by both agricultural settlement and early extraction, evidenced by the Fulves Mine to the south. The distribution of rural education is well-preserved here, with Barr Butte Sch, Liberty Sch No 1, and Roosevelt Sch serving scattered farmsteads. Terrain features like Barr Butte and Sowers Bluff provide verticality to the landscape, while the drainage of Cottonwood Creek and Willow Creek dictates the local topography. The map also delineates township-scale districts including Grenora, Glimax, and Good Luck.
