2016 Map of Hazel Run

About this map

Hazel Run sits at the southern edge of this Minnesota landscape, where the prairie is etched by a geometric grid of rural roads and agricultural drainage projects. The area is defined by the legacy of early Norwegian settlement, as evidenced by the presence of Bergen and the Bergen Cem further north. The terrain is relatively level, yet it is cut by the natural course of Stony Run Cr and the engineered paths of water management systems like County Ditch Number Six. Near the boundary of Chippewa Co and Yellow Medicine Co, the Camp Release Cem serves as a significant site of local memory. This 2016 survey documents a landscape that remains deeply tied to its farming roots, with many sections organized by the Public Land Survey System as noted by the Township and Range identifiers.
