2014 Map of Hazen NE

About this map

Family names and small burial grounds define this rural portion of Mercer County north of Hazen. The landscape is largely structured by a strict section-line road grid, including 48th Ave NW and 50th Ave NW, which cross the rolling terrain characteristic of the region. Coal Cr winds through the southwestern corner, providing the primary natural drainage in an area otherwise dominated by high-plains agriculture. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with specific family-associated sites, such as the Tschaekofske Cem and Goetz Cem. These small, localized cemeteries, along with Saint Peters Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Saint Jacobs Cem, suggest a history of tight-knit pioneer settlements and early church congregations that shaped the social fabric of the North Dakota prairie.
