2014 Map of Hawks Nest

About this map

Hawks Nest rises as a prominent topographical landmark above the surrounding prairie, anchoring a landscape defined by the intersection of three North Dakota counties. This 2014 survey documents the rural section lines of Stutsman, Wells, and Foster counties, where the land is partitioned by a strict grid of gravel roads like 6th St SE and 55th Ave SE. The drainage of Little Pipestem Cr meanders across the western half of the map, carving a subtle path through the glacial terrain. The map captures a quintessential Great Plains vista of intermittent wetlands and high-plateau rises, reflecting the enduring agricultural layout of the region. Researchers can trace the exact county boundaries where Wells meets Foster and Stutsman counties, providing a precise record of the local political and natural geography.
