About this map

Grimes sits at a crossroads of agriculture and early suburban expansion in this mid-1960s Iowa landscape. The town center is defined by its industrial roots, featuring a Sewage Disposal plant and Water Tank, while the residential fringe includes the Trailer Park and Sunny Hill area. Transportation corridors dominate the eastern half of the sheet, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad and the Des Moines and Central Iowa rail lines intersect the growing highway system at the Granger-Grimes Interchange.
