2020 Map of Hazen West

About this map

The Knife River and its varied tributaries, including Antelope Creek and Beulah Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Mercer County landscape. The western edge of Hazen and the northeastern portion of Beulah are visible, connected by HGY 200 as it traverses the valley. A high concentration of rural burial sites, including Saint Martins Cem, Saint Matthews Cem, and Hazen Cem, cluster near the eastern boundary, suggesting a dense early settlement history and community ties rooted in these townships. Further north, the small siding or locality of Truax sits along the section lines near the Wolfe Cem, illustrating the dispersed nature of the agricultural economy in this part of North Dakota. The terrain transitions from river bottomlands to higher coulees, with several branches of Antelope Cr carving the northern uplands.
