1954 Map of Chatfield

Further south, the terrain becomes more complex as the North Branch Root River and Middle Branch Root River converge near the established town of Chatfield. This area reveals a rural economy tied to the land, shown through numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry near Lynch Creek. Genealogists will find a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Cline Cem, Carpenter Cem, and the St. Marys Cemetery, alongside distinct local landmarks like the Bucksnort bridge and the Radio Tower in Chatfield.
