About this map

Gracelock serves as a small anchor point for this agricultural landscape in the late 1950s, located at the intersection of the Grace, Havelock, Mandt, and Rosewood townships. The map reveals a highly organized rural infrastructure, dominated by a grid of country schools like School No 302 and School No 315, alongside several religious centers including Havelock Ch and its adjacent Cem. This distribution of public buildings suggests a era when local social life was still deeply rooted in small township districts rather than consolidated towns.

The terrain is punctuated by numerous wetlands and the winding path of Dry Weather Cr in the southwest. Historical researchers may note the proximity of the Gravel Pit to the local road network, reflecting the materials used for the region's developing infrastructure. Prominent local landmarks such as Buffalo Lake Ch and Hillside Cem provide clear reference points for genealogists tracking family roots in Chippewa County.
