2016 Map of Gracelock

About this map

Gracelock sits at the center of this agricultural landscape in Chippewa County, where a rigid grid of section-line roads defines the rural character of the Minnesota prairie. The map reveals a pattern of scattered homesteads and local burial grounds, such as Hillside Cem and Buffalo Lake Cem in the northeast corner. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of the Public Land Survey System, with townships like t119n r39w and t118n r39w organized into precise one-mile squares. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainage and small basins, with the only named waterway being Dry Weather Cr winding through the southwest. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of rural landmarks like Havelock Cem, located along Co Rd 13, which serve as permanent anchors in an otherwise changing farming region.
