2013 Map of Hazel

About this map

The Red Lake River meanders sharply across this Pennington County landscape, defining the topography north of the small settlement of Hazel. This modern survey illustrates the agricultural grid of the Red River Valley region, where township roads like Center St E and 205th Ave NE bisect the flat terrain. Local history and genealogy are anchored by two distinct burial sites: Emanuel Cem located near a prominent river bend and Bethania Cem situated on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Transportation remains central to the area's layout, with the intersection of Us-59 and MN-1 providing the primary regional connections. The mapping of named rural routes such as Smiley Dr and Sofferberg Dr provides specific locations for researchers tracing family homesteads or documenting the evolving road network in this part of northern Minnesota.
