2020 Map of Hannaford

About this map

Hannaford and the smaller community of Walum anchor this agricultural landscape in Griggs County, where the meandering course of Baldhill Creek cuts through the plains. The map reveals a high concentration of sites for local history and genealogy, notably the scattered rural burial grounds including Faith Lutheran Cem, Lyster Cem, and Saint Olafs Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with the Hannaford Cem just west of town, suggest the enduring presence of early 20th-century Scandinavian and Lutheran heritage in the region. The drainage patterns of Silver Creek and Gunderson Cr define the low-lying areas between the township lines of t145n r60w and t144n r59w. The rectilinear grid of county roads, such as Griggs Co 22 and Co Rd 28, contrasts with the organic flow of the local creek systems.
