2014 Map of Hazelton NW

About this map

Horsehead Creek and Badger Creek wind through this prairie landscape in North Dakota, where the topography is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the Missouri Plateau. The map reveals a strictly regulated section-line road network, including thoroughfares such as Main Ave and 1st Ave SW, which facilitate movement through this agricultural region. For those researching local family history, the placement of the Gimble Cemetery and the Merkle Cemetery provides specific geographic coordinates for early settler burial grounds. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of Emmons County, where the sparse placement of named features reflects a late-modern era of consolidated farmsteads and open grazing land.
