2011 Map of Nason Hill

About this map

Nason Hill rises above the prairie landscape of Adams County, overlooking a network of section-line roads and seasonal waterways. This 2011 survey captures the rural character of the North Dakota badlands fringe, where the meandering course of Cedar Creek serves as a primary geographical anchor. The map provides significant detail for genealogical research, identifying the locations of Cedar Creek Cemetery and Stowers Cemetery, which stand as markers of early settlement history in this sparsely populated region. The drainage patterns of Plum Creek and Timber Creek reveal the natural topography that shaped the placement of farmsteads and the grid of local routes like 9th Ave NE and 27th St NE. The systematic arrangement of roads and lack of dense development reflect the enduring agrarian nature of the Plains at the start of the 21st century.
