2013 Map of Hanska

About this map

Hanska sits at the southwestern edge of this survey, anchored by MN-257 and the community post office. The landscape is a complex network of agricultural drainage, including the Little Cottonwood River and numerous engineered waterways such as Judicial Ditch Number Ten and County Ditch Number Sixtythree. These systems trace the historical modification of the terrain for farming, illustrated clearly by the presence of Dane Lakebed and the surrounding basins. Near the northern border, the settlement of Searles serves as a local hub along MN-15. Throughout the rural townships, local genealogy is preserved at sites like Mt Pisgah Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Rice Lake Cem, which are scattered among the section lines and along the edges of Linden Lake. The terrain is generally level, with the prominent exception of Mt Pisgah rising near the southern boundary.
