2019 Map of Hazel

About this map

Red Lake River meanders in tight oxbows through the agricultural plains of Pennington County, defining the drainage patterns of this portion of northern Minnesota. This 2019 survey captures the small settlement of Hazel at the intersection of Co Hwy 3 and the railroad corridor, a classic prairie rail stop that continues to serve the surrounding farmstead network. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks such as Emanuel Cem and Bethania Cem, which sit alongside a grid of county roads including NE 150th St and Co Hwy 7. The landscape is primarily composed of large-scale sectioned fields, punctuated by wetland pockets and rural residential drives like Sorteberg Dr. This record provides a clear look at the contemporary land use and connectivity of this rural township just before the turn of the decade.
