2018 Map of Hazen West

About this map

The Knife River flows across this Mercer County landscape, where the prairie transitions into the western outskirts of Hazen. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its watercourses and rural burial sites, including the Wolfe Cem and a cluster of religious grounds such as Saint Martins Cem, Peace Lutheran Cem, and Saint Matthews Cem. The drainage patterns of Antelope Cr and its western branch, W Br Antelope Cr, dictate the layout of the section-line road network, which remains largely composed of unpaved routes like Co RD 19 and Co RD 9. To the north, the small settlement of Truax sits near the upper reaches of the drainage system. The map captures the quiet intersection of agricultural land and the sprawling tributaries of the Knife River, providing a clear view of the area's contemporary topography and local heritage sites before they are further impacted by development or energy industry activity.
