2011 Map of Hazelton NW

About this map

Gimble Cemetery and Merkle Cemetery serve as important landmarks for genealogical research in this prairie landscape of Emmons County. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Badger Creek in the northwest and the extensive drainage of Horsehead Creek, which meanders across the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. The map documents a strictly organized section-line road network, where routes like Main Ave, 1st Ave SW, and 64th St SW provide the primary infrastructure for this rural agricultural area. This 2011 survey captures the enduring rural character of North Dakota, where the placement of family cemeteries and the natural flow of prairie creeks remain the primary features of the land.
