COMMENTS: Located near the banks of the Whitewater river, North of Elba and South of Beaver on a Bend on Gravel MN hwy 74. Nothing remains that I know of, Except the semi-hidden Whitewater Cemetery. This town along with nearly extinct Beaver was constantly ravaged by spring floods due to poor farming practices and Erosion, and was probably deserted as a result. Over 100 lived here in 1895.
REMAINS: Whitewater Cemetery
