2018 Map of Hardy

About this map

The town of Hardy serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in northeastern Humboldt County. This modern survey reveals a highly organized township-and-range system, where a rigid grid of roads like Washington Ave and States Ave defines the prairie. The map provides a critical record for local historians and genealogists through its well-preserved rural burial grounds, including the Swiss Cem to the north and the Hardy Trinity Lutheran Cem to the south. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, exemplified by the engineered path of Drainage Ditch Number 4, which cuts through the southwestern corner. Further east, the Lake Church Cem sits near the township line, marking the site of early community focal points that persisted into the twenty-first century.
