2011 Map of Hankinson

About this map

Hankinson serves as the primary hub in this prairie landscape, where a dense grid of residential streets and avenues like 1st St SE and 10th St SW meets the surrounding agricultural expanse. The area is defined by a significant chain of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the prominent Lake Elsie and the distinctively shaped Horseshoe Lake and Frying Pan Lake. These water bodies are interspersed with rural landmarks that provide deep roots for local genealogy, such as the Coppin Cemetery located west of Lake Elsie and the Immanuel Cemetery to the north. The township-and-range road system, marked by numbered routes like 163rd Ave SE and 95th St SE, creates a geometric framework across the terrain, connecting the outlying farms to the central commerce of the town and its lakeside recreation areas.
