About this map

The Knife River winds through the southern landscape of this Mercer County region, marking a corridor of development between the growing communities of Beulah and Hazen. While HGY 200 serves as the primary modern thoroughfare connecting these towns, the surrounding prairie is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel roads like Co RD 19 and Co RD 9. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of historical local landmarks to modern infrastructure, such as the Peace Lutheran Cem, Saint Martins Cem, and Hazen Cem clustered north of the Hazen townsite.

Agricultural patterns are dictated by the drainage of Antelope Creek and its West Branch, which carve through the northern townships. The settlement of Truax sits along the northern edge, while the southern reaches near the river include smaller tributaries like Otter Creek and Brady Creek. Genealogists will find interest in the mapped locations of the rural Wolfe Cem, preserved amidst the vast open sections of the North Dakota plains.
