About this map

Hazelton marks the southeastern corner of this North Dakota landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern railroad and the local highway system. The terrain is defined by the broad expanse of the Buchanan Valley, which transitions into a complex network of wetlands and drainage patterns. Large hydrologic features like Dutton Slough dominate the central-north portion of the map, while several watercourses including Hawk Creek, Long Lake Creek, and Badger Creek wind through the prairie. In the northwest, a localized Townhall indicates a community focal point for the rural residents of the valley. The presence of several Gravel Pits scattered across the township lines points to the importance of aggregate extraction for road building in this period of Emmons County history.
