2018 Map of Hastings

About this map

Hastings serves as the central point of interest in this survey of Skandia Township, where the small community is situated at the intersection of Main St and 50th St SE. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Spring Creek and Bear Creek, which traverse a terrain marked by numerous small wetlands and prairie potholes. Just north of the settlement, the Spring Creek Cem stands as a significant site for genealogical research, documenting the local families of this Barnes County region. For modern recreation and natural study, the N Country National Scenic Trail cuts through the eastern portion of the map, following the contours of the drainage basin. This 2018 edition provides a clear view of the rural section-line road network, including 46th St SE through 54th St SE, as they intersect at the border where Barnes, LaMoure, and Ransom counties meet.
