1980 Map of Hague

About this map

Hague serves as the primary community anchor in this 1980 survey of the prairie landscape along the Emmons Co McIntosh Co border. The settlement is centered on a grid near St Marys Cem, reflecting the importance of local parish life in this rural North Dakota enclave. The transportation infrastructure is dominated by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, facilitating the movement of grain and goods across the plains. In the north, the South Branch Beaver Creek meanders through the terrain, providing a natural drainage system for the surrounding agricultural land. Conservation efforts are evident in the southeast corner with the National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the region's role as a critical habitat within the prairie pothole region. Small industrial sites like a Gravel Pit and family-named landmarks such as Vetter point to the local-scale economy and land ownership patterns of the era.
