2017 Map of Hazel

About this map

Henry sits at the northern edge of this high prairie landscape, marking a transition point on the glacial highland known as the Coteau des Prairies. This 2017 survey reveals a deeply patterned agricultural grid defined by a dense network of numbered roads like 436th Ave and 175th St. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands, with Lake Henry serving as a significant water feature in the northwest corner. To the southeast, the small community of Hazel is detailed with its own local street plan, including Lafayette St and William St. This map is particularly useful for local historians tracking the intersection of three counties — Clark, Codington, and Hamlin — which meet amidst the section lines. Genealogical interest is centered on the rural Our Saviors Church Cem and the Hazel Cem, which remain as anchored landmarks within the vast farming blocks of the coteau.
