2020 Map of Chaffee

About this map

The small settlement of Chaffee anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, where Main St and 44th St SE define the local grid. This section of Cass County displays the characteristic agricultural organization of the Red River Valley, with large sections partitioned by a precise network of range lines and township roads such as Co Rd 5 and 150th Ave SE. Historically significant sites are clustered near the eastern edge, notably the Goshen Moravian Church Cem, which reflects the specific denominational heritage of early settlers in this prairie landscape. The meandering path of Buffalo Cr cuts through the northern half of the map near Myra, providing a natural break in the otherwise systematic land divisions. Genealogists can trace localized roots at Zion Cem or the outlier hamlet of Lynchburg on the eastern boundary.
