About this map

Hawks and the surrounding Bismarck Township landscape are defined by a dense concentration of inland water bodies and recreational trails in this modern survey. The settlement of Hawks serves as a local hub near several community landmarks, including Faith Cem and Hope Cem. A significant corridor for non-motorized transport is established by the N Eastern State Trail, which bisects the quadrangle along a legacy rail alignment, passing through Big Cut and continuing southeast.

This glacial terrain is heavily pocketed with lakes and rivers that supported early timber and agricultural interests. The Ocqueoc River and Little Ocqueoc River drain the northern sections, while the southern half is characterized by a chain of large lakes, including Lake Nettie, Lake May, Lake Emma, and Lake Ann. Many of these water bodies are accessed via secondary roads named for local families, such as McWilliams Lake Rd and Rasche Rd, indicating a landscape shaped by rural landholdings and seasonal residency.
