2022 Map of Hawley NW

About this map

Spring Prairie and Highland townships characterize this part of Clay County, defined by the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is notably flat, punctuated by the shallow waters of Hatchet Lake and numerous small wetlands that dot the prairie landscape. Local history is anchored at the Spring Prairie Cem and Lysne Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the region's agricultural settlement. A precise network of section-line roads, including Co Rd 86 and Co Rd 87, facilitates travel between the farmsteads that occupy this productive corner of the Red River Valley. The map provides a detailed record of the 2022 landscape, showing how the original township boundaries like t140n r46w and t141n r45w continue to dictate the modern rural geography.
