The township was geographically twice the size of the typical township and was not unified on a plan for development and vision for the township.
For example, a township and city may agree that development in the area may result in the need for additional space for the city to expand or for city services to be extended to areas of the township.
Townships may also be dissolved and the land is either absorbed by a neighboring township or townships or becomes unorganized territory of the county.

Minnesota was a new state with excellent farmland that the government was practically giving away to anyone who would settle there.

The Upper Island is a limestone plateau, poor for agriculture and now partially given to quarrying.
Separated from it by a lake and a stretch of marshy ground is the Lower Island, an alluvial plain that has many traces of early Indian and European settlement, especially along the river banks.
Although the location of the town was convenient to river commerce and had been occupied by a few European and mixed-blood farmers since the late 1830s, both the historic and the archaeological records indicate that Grey Cloud failed to develop, becoming farm land again by the end of the 19th century.
