About this map

Knife River meanders through the heart of this Mercer County landscape, where the Northern Pacific railroad follows its course through the settlement of Hazen. This late-1960s survey documents a region defined by its water resources and transportation infrastructure, from the Gaging Station and Flowing Well to the Hazen Municipal Airport located just east of town. The map reveals the local topography shaped by several tributaries, including Antelope Creek, Coal Creek, and Kinneman Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint specific landmarks such as the Cambridge Cem and the small settlement at Brady in the south. Evidence of the area's resource-based economy is visible through a labeled Mine in the eastern hills and Sewage Disposal Ponds near the main settlement, providing a detailed record of the rural and industrial footprint during this era of North Dakota's development.
