1958 Map of Gracelock

About this map

Gracelock anchors a rural landscape in Chippewa County defined by a regular grid of section-line roads and scattered marshy depressions. In the late 1950s, this area of western Minnesota maintained a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 318, School No 319, and School No 302, reflecting a time before full rural school consolidation. The social geography is further marked by community landmarks such as Buffalo Lake Ch and Havelock Ch, along with associated burial grounds like Hillside Cem and Havelock Cem. The terrain is characterized by its drainage into Dry Weather Cr and numerous unnamed potholes, while the local economy is evidenced by small industrial sites like the Gravel Pit near the township lines of Grace and Havelock.
