About this map

The small prairie settlement of Hannah anchors this 1970 survey of northern Cavalier County, situated just south of the Canada-United States border. This borderland landscape is defined by the international line dividing Manitoba and North Dakota, where a U S Customs station stands as a vital waypoint for cross-border traffic. The surrounding terrain is a mosaic of agricultural fields and natural wetlands, with the waters of Rush Lake and the meandering path of Snowflake Creek draining the glacial till.

Transport and industry are concentrated around the townsite, where the Burlington Northern railroad provided the essential link for moving grain and goods. Evidence of local excavation is seen in several locations, including a Shale Pit and a Gravel Pit near the village. Genealogists will find the Hannah Cem clearly marked on the northern edge of the community, while the township boundaries of Linden, Byron, Grey, and Minto provide clear geographic references for historical property research.
