2017 Map of Dazey

About this map

Dazey anchors this corner of the North Dakota prairie, situated at the intersection of a strictly gridded road network that defines the rural landscape of Barnes County. The small settlement is accompanied by the Dazey Cem to the south and Bryn Airport to the east, reflecting the essential infrastructure of a modern agricultural community. The terrain is marked by a high concentration of prairie potholes and small wetlands, which feed into larger water bodies like Lake Benson and Hanson Lake. Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, the land descends into the valley of Baldhill Creek, where the meandering stream and its tributary Silver Cr contrast with the geometric precision of the township and range survey lines. This landscape demonstrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the development of the Great Plains.
