At point B, which marks the western extreme of the district, the boundary follows the edge of the river terrace on the south side of the Virgin River to the east for a distance of 2147 feet, ending at pOint C. Point C marks the edge of the river terrace and the edge of an existing irrigated pasture. The boundary then follows the northern edge of the irrigated fields in a east/northeast direction for a distance of 889 feet and then drops on to the flood plain before crossing the river and stopping at point D. Point D marks the remains of the historic pedestrian bridge abutment on the north side of the river. The boundary then continues back across the river to the southeast, climbs back up on the river terrace and pasture, and terminates at point E at the north edge of North Street. The distance between point D and E is 540 feet. From point E the boundary follows the north side of North Street to point F for a distance of 441 feet. At point F the boundary drops back down onto the flood plain to the northeast on what is currently irrigated pasture and follows the river's riparian edge for a distance of 758 feet before ending at point G. Point G marks the northern extreme of the district. From point G the boundary continues to the southeast following the edge of the pasture for a distance of 883 feet before ending at point H. Point H is the northeastern extreme of the east branch of the Hall and Grafton ditch. The boundary follows the ditch alignment in a southwesterly direction for a distance of 1202 feet before ending at point A. This boundary as described marks the Grafton town site proper for a total distance of 12005 feet (2.27 miles) and includes 69.75 acres. The National Register boundary also includes the Wood Road and the Cemetery. Point A marks the northern extreme of the Wood Road. From point A the boundary continues to the south on the road alignment before encountering a poorly defined and impassable access road to the cemetery. The distance between point A and point I, which marks the northwest corner of the cemetery is 737 feet. Backtracking from point to the Wood Road the boundary continues to the south for 751 feet to point J. Point J is a road cut in a small east facing talus ridge. Continuing to the south the road drops into a wash and up onto terraces a number of times before encountering the second road cut at point K. The distance between point J and K is 727 feet. From point K the road goes in a southwesterly direction before starting to climb up the side of the mesa. The road has a series of switch backs and once reaching the top continues to the southwest across the mesa. For the purposes of this boundary delineation, the boundary terminates at the top of the mesa at point L. The distance between point Land K is 2027 feet. The total distance of the Wood Road is 6537 feet (1 .24 miles). The boundary from point A to L encompasses both sides of the road for an average width of 12 feet. The elevation gain between point A and L is 698 feet. _x_see continuation sheet |
