2018 Map of Dana

About this map

Dana sits at the heart of this prairie landscape in Hazelton Township, where the drainages of the Missouri River plateau define the local topography. This 2018 survey shows a rural environment organized by a rigid grid of section-line roads, such as 57th St SE and 11th Ave SE, which slice through the rolling terrain. The area is defined by its seasonal hydrology, with Hawk Cr and Goose Cr carving subtle coulees across the township. Further east and south, the Long Lake Creek system, including the West Branch Long Lake Creek, provides the primary drainage. This map captures the persistent agrarian character of Emmons County in the early 21st century, showing how the original land survey boundaries of T136N R76W and T135N R76W continue to dictate the placement of farmsteads and transport routes in the modern era.
