2020 Map of Hanks

About this map

Hanks sits at the intersection of Co Rd 7A and 145th Ave NW, serving as a central point in this northern Williams County landscape. The area is defined by the drainage of Scorpio Cr as it winds through the northern sections, and the presence of Pats Coulee to the south. This 2020 survey illustrates a rural environment shaped by the Rectangular Survey System, with a dense network of section-line roads like 82nd St NW and 147th Ave NW providing access to agricultural tracts. For those tracing local history or family lineage, the map identifies two significant burial sites: the Hanks Cem located just north of the townsite and the Gladys Cem positioned further south near 75th St NW. These landmarks, along with established routes such as Co Hwy 12, document the persistent infrastructure of this high plains community.
