2011 Map of Hastings

About this map

Hastings serves as the primary settlement hub in this 2011 survey of Barnes County, where the street grid of Main St, Oak Ave, and Spruce St centers the local community. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Spring Creek and Bear Creek, highlighting the importance of water management in this agricultural region. Evidence of early settlement and regional genealogy is found at the Spring Creek Cemetery, while the presence of the Clausen Springs Dam indicates more modern hydrological developments along the creek. The map reflects a highly organized township structure, with a dense network of section-line roads such as 113th Ave SE and 50th St SE creating a regular patchwork across the North Dakota prairie.
