Grand View sits right on the bank of the Snake River, surrounded by a wide valley of farmland. The historic downtown area, comprising a number of quaint old stores, is on Main Street, just across the street from the river. The town is laid out in a grid from the river which passes through in a direction a bit north of northeast. Riverside Avenue runs along the riverbank, and Main Street is perpindicular to it. A few streets in each direction follow this grid. Two state Highway serve Grand View and both are aligned with a north-south-east-west axis, resulting in a lot of turning streets in the town.
Grand View is an oasis in the desert, thanks to the Snake River. Irrigation water provides for extensive ranch and farmland in the area, and many trees growing in the city and along the river add lots of green for the scenery.
