2010 Map of Gracelock

About this map

Gracelock sits at the heart of this Chippewa County landscape, a community defined by its rigid grid of agricultural roads and section lines. The settlement pattern here reflects the long-standing farmstead tradition of the region, where roads like 20th St NE and 1st Ave N provide the primary connective tissue between isolated rural residences. Water features are relatively sparse in this prairie-dominated area, with Dry Weather Creek winding through the southwest, its seasonal nature typical of the local drainage systems. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents several distinct burial grounds that serve the surrounding townships. These include Hillside Cemetery in the northeast, Buffalo Lake Cemetery near the northern boundary, and Havelock Cemetery to the south. Together, these sites and the meticulous road indexing provide a clear picture of land division and community structure at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
