2014 Map of Hankinson

About this map

Hankinson serves as the central hub of this Richland County landscape, situated just east of a dense cluster of prairie lakes and marshes. The town's grid is bounded by a significant rail corridor and provides access to the recreational and agricultural lands surrounding Lake Elsie and Grass Lake. To the northwest, the map transition into the Sheyenne National Grassland, where the terrain becomes more varied with numerous depressions and unique water bodies like Frying Pan Lake and Horseshoe Lake. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the rural townships, including Calvary Cem, Hillside Cem, and the remote Coppin Cem near the western shore of Lake Elsie. The map also documents the transition from the structured streets of the village to the expansive section-line road system that defines the eastern Dakotas.
