2023 Map of Hassell

About this map

Gerhardt Valley and the prominent rising terrain of Lone Mesa define the topography of this Quay County landscape. The small settlement of Hassell sits at the junction of local roads, serving as a quiet focal point in a region characterized by expansive open country and rugged escarpments. Several family-named burial sites, including the Hassell Cem, House Cem, Lone Mesa Cem, and Gerhardt Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the early ranching and farming heritage of the area. Watercourses like Alamosa Creek in the northeast and Truchas Creek in the southwest cut through the arid terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local land use. The map details a network of rural routes such as Q R 33 and Q R 28, which connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands across this high-plains environment.
