2011 Map of Hazen NE

About this map

Saint Peters Cemetery and Tschaekofske Cemetery sit amidst the high plains landscape north of the Knife River valley in Mercer County. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by its agricultural grid, where section lines are traced by a network of local roads including 48th St NW and County Rd 29. The drainage of Coal Creek meanders across the southern and central portions of the map, a quiet feature in an otherwise strictly surveyed landscape. For genealogists and local historians, the concentration of family and parish-linked burial grounds such as Saint Johns Cemetery, Saint Jacobs Cemetery, and Goetz Cemetery provides specific points of interest for tracing the early 20th-century settlement patterns of the North Dakota prairies.
