2011 Map of Hanks Corner

About this map

Hanks Corner anchors this section of Pembina County, appearing as a rural junction during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by an orderly grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Hanks Rd and County Hwy 6, which facilitate travel through the agricultural plains. Water management is a central theme of the topography, with numerous small impoundments such as Hanks Corner Dam, Bourbanis Dam, and Herzog Dam regulating local drainage. The Little South Pembina River meanders across the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, providing a natural contrast to the rectilinear human-made infrastructure. For genealogists, the map identifies three significant burial sites: Beaulieu Cemetery, Spangel Cemetery, and Oak Lawn Cemetery, which serve as vital markers of the area's local history and family heritage.
