2020 Map of Hassell

About this map

Gerhardt Valley and the prominent rising terrain of Lone Mesa define this high-plains landscape in Quay County. The settlement of Hassell sits at a crossroads in the northeast, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. The geography is deeply tied to its watercourses, notably Alamosa Cr and the winding Truchas Cr, which carve through the terrain as it shifts between the valley floor and elevated mesa tops. Genealogy and local history are preserved through several scattered burial sites, including Hassell Cem, House Cem, and the Lone Mesa Cem, which indicate the dispersed nature of early 20th-century homesteading. A network of rural routes, such as QR BH and QR 33, connects these remote sites across the township lines of the Public Land Survey System.
