2010 Map of Hawley NW

About this map

Spring Prairie Cemetery and Lysne Cemetery stand as quiet landmarks within this rural Clay County landscape, captured during the 2010 survey. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including 150th St N and 80th Ave N, reflecting the deeply ingrained township-and-range system of the Red River Valley region. Hatchet Lake provides a natural break in the otherwise systematic agricultural layout of the northwestern portion of the sheet. The prevalence of these section roads, such as 200th St N and 57th Ave N, suggests a landscape dominated by large-scale farming and sparse homesteads, where local transit is facilitated by routes like County Hwy 113. This map provides genealogists and local historians with a precise look at the placement of family burial grounds and the connectivity of the rural road network at the turn of the decade.
