2018 Map of Hazelton SW

About this map

Horsehead Valley defines the southern portion of this landscape in Emmons County, where the terrain breaks toward the drainage of Beaver Creek. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, including 77th St SW and 79th St SW, which serves a dispersed agricultural community. This area is punctuated by small, significant historical sites that offer critical clues for genealogical research. Three distinct burial grounds are documented here: Baptist Cem and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem are located near one another in the central portion of the survey, while Winchester Cem is situated further east above the valley. These sites, along with the paths of Sand Creek and the larger Beaver Creek, illustrate the enduring relationship between the early settler community and the natural topography of the North Dakota plains.
