About this map

Dazey serves as the central hub of this eastern North Dakota landscape, situated along the Northern Pacific railway line. This 1961 survey, published as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, provides a detailed look at the agricultural transition across the Griggs and Barnes County line. The terrain is characterized by a network of prairie lakes and drainages, including Lake Benson, Hanson Lake, and the winding path of Baldhill Creek in the northeast corner.

Evidence of local transportation and industry is visible through the presence of a Landing Field east of the town center and a Gravel Pit to the west. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific property markers and the Dazey Cemetery, while the fine red dashed lines indicate fence and field boundaries as they appeared during the early 1960s. The map illustrates the structured township layout across Lake Town and Dazey townships.
