About this map

The Grant River and its numerous tributaries, including the Little Grant River and Hackett Br, dictate the settlement patterns and road networks of this corner of Grant County. In this rural landscape, small community centers and named family farmsteads serve as the primary landmarks. The settlement of Hurricane occupies the southeastern portion of the map, while Five Points and Flora Fountain mark key intersections further north.

Transportation throughout the region relies on a network of crossings over the winding river system, including Porters Bridge, Blackburn Bridge, and Wilcox Bridge. The prevalence of named agricultural sites such as Grant Hills Farm, Bahl Farms, and Hidden Acres Farms illustrates the enduring rural character of the area. Local history and genealogy researchers can use the detailed road names, such as Bowen School Rd and Grays Mill Rd, to locate former sites of local industry and education that shaped the community.
