1958 Map of Gracelock NW

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Chippewa River meanders through the heart of the Minnesota prairie in this late-1950s survey, marking a period of rural density before widespread farm consolidation. This area, spanning the townships of Six Mile Grove, Swenoda, Big Bend, and Mandt, reveals an incredibly active network of local education, with nearly a dozen small schoolhouses still identified by number across the landscape. The confluence of Shakopee Creek and the river defines the central terrain, while the Swift Co Chippewa Co line cuts through the southern reaches. Local landmarks such as Trinity Ch and the Big Bend Cem provide valuable anchor points for genealogical research, while several Gravel Pits in the southeast corner indicate the local extraction industry of the era. The detailed topography illustrates the numerous small depressions and drainage patterns characteristic of this glaciated agricultural region.
