About this map

Chatfield sits at the convergence of several major watercourses, where the North Branch Root River and Middle Branch Root River meet to form the Root River. This topography, defined by the winding paths of Mill Cr, Bear Cr, and Rice Cr, illustrates the river-centric layout of the region. The map highlights the town's local institutions, including the Post Office and the Chosen Valley Golf Course, while showing the network of secondary highways like Co HWY-5 and Co HWY-2 that connect the valley to the surrounding highlands.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites clustered near the settlement, including Chatfield Cem, Saint Paul Cem, Calvary Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. Further south, the isolated Loughrey Cem serves as a lone marker of local history along Shady Cr. The map also traces the county line between Olmsted Co and Fillmore Co, which bisects the town and dictates much of its administrative and historical development.
