2024 Map of Chaffee

About this map

Chaffee and Lynchburg anchor the southern reaches of this agricultural landscape in Cass County, where the grid of sections is occasionally interrupted by the winding path of Buffalo Creek. This waterway meanders across the northern half of the territory, passing near the small settlement of Myra. The map documents a well-established rural infrastructure defined by a dense network of gravel and section-line roads such as Co Rd 5 and Co Rd 6. For those tracing local history or family ties, the preservation of sites like Goshen Moravian Church Cem and Zion Cem provides specific points of reference within the wide-open prairie. The settlement pattern remains centered on these small clusters, reflecting the enduring rail and road connectivity of the Red River Valley region.
