2014 Map of Hazen West

About this map

The Knife River flows across the southern reaches of this Mercer County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding prairie. Between the growing communities of Beulah and Hazen, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Antelope Cr and its various branches, including the W Br Antelope Cr. This area of North Dakota maintains its rural character even as the transportation corridor of ND-200 connects the regional hubs. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Wolfe Cem in the north and the cluster of sites near the eastern border, including Saint Martins Cem and Saint Mathews Cem. The small settlement of Truax sits along the northern section of CR-27, illustrating the distributed nature of early homesteads and communities in this part of the Great Plains.
