80–60 parcels each · the register's upper middle rank, at true size
New Granger Trails — 80 parcels: on the range-line sections at the Osceola doorstep, its legal descriptions running to Sections 7 and 8 of the next range east (county file) — the wave's furthest-east in-boundary plat under its own name, carrying the community's name in its own ("New Granger Trails"). Ground, count and eastern position are its documented whole; no street name, building year or builder for it was reached in the open listing or press record swept. Settler: the Recorder's plat books.
Anderson Lake Estates — 76 parcels: on Anderson Road, its file still showing 29 parcels as vacant land in November 2026 (county file) — a plat of the wave still completing in the 2020s, on ground the county's new Anderson Road park (acquired 1999, under construction 2025–26) will neighbor. Its name promises a lake the record does not further describe. One caution is printed with it: the listing record's "Anderson Lake Dr" addresses carry the legal description "Anderson Estates Sub Sec 7" — a different, smaller plat (Anderson Estates, 35 parcels in five sections, in the 2000s article) sharing the road's surname; the two are not merged here, and the 1993 building year the listing record gives an Anderson Lake Drive house is Anderson Estates' evidence, not this plat's. Beyond count, ground and vacancy, no builder, date or street record was reached. Settler: the Recorder's plat books.
Cherry Trails Estates — 74 parcels: across its sections, on streets like Sturdy Oak Lane (county file) — the woodland register in its purest form in this rank. Its sections run at least to a 3rd: the county's 2026 tax-sale advertisement carries a "Lot 28 Cherry Trails Estates 3rd" in its legal descriptions, the plat's sectioning confirmed in a current public instrument. No builder, recording date or building-year run was reached. Settler: the Recorder's plat books.
Sherwood Forest — 71 parcels: across its sections (county file), the register's one literary-woodland name, carried at count and sections only in every source reached; no street, builder or date record stands open for it. Settler: the Recorder's plat books. Northfield Village — 62 parcels: its descriptions carrying the east half of the northwest quarter of Section 14 (county file) — a section-line ground statement is its whole open record beyond count. Settler: the Recorder's plat books. Woods Edge — 62 parcels: count only in the record reached. Settler: the Recorder's plat books. East Pointe Estates — 61 parcels: its descriptions naming Cedar Lake (county file) — a water name inside its paper, the plat's one characterizing fact in open record. Settler: the Recorder's plat books. Reynolds Park — 60 parcels: on the range-line sections (county file), the register's eastern rank closing at sixty; count and position are its open whole. Settler: the Recorder's plat books.
The rank's finding, printed once: eight plats, 549 parcels among them — more households than the hamlet's whole first century — and the open record carries, beyond the county file's counts and legal descriptions, a replat date for none of them, a builder for none, and a street plan for one. That is not a failure of this section; it is the documented condition of Granger's middle-rank paper, and it is why the plat books are this branch's standing settler.
