Chatfield sits at the confluence of several watercourses, most notably where Mill Creek joins the North Branch Root River. This 2010 survey reveals a community deeply connected to its river system, with the Middle Branch Root River and Bear Creek carving through the surrounding landscape. The area is marked by several significant burial grounds, including Loughrey Cemetery to the southwest and a cluster of sites like Saint Paul Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery just outside the main town. Modern land use is visible through features like the Chosen Valley Golf Course and small private infrastructure such as the Ronald Gehling Dam. The map also captures the local transportation network, highlighting family-named crossings like Parsley Bridge and the Kohlmeyer Airport at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
