About this map

The settlement of De Graff sits at the intersection of a significant regional transit corridor, where Atlantic Ave runs parallel to the rail line through the southwestern corner of this West-Central Minnesota landscape. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the E Br Chippewa River and the winding course of Mud Cr. Further east, the Hollerberg Lake and its associated Hollerberg Floodway demonstrate the water management and drainage patterns essential to this agricultural region.

Local genealogy and history are well-preserved through several scattered burial grounds, including Saint Bridget Cem just outside the town, and the Bethesda Lutheran Cem and Saint Pauli Cem situated further north and east. The grid-like road network, with numbered thoroughfares such as 50th St NE and 120th Ave NE, reflects the organized section-based surveying of Swift County, while Gravel Pit Rd points to the local material extraction that supported the area's development.
