2016 Map of Wood Lake NW

About this map

Hazel Run sits in the northern reaches of this agricultural landscape in Yellow Medicine County, where the grid of sections is deeply established. The southern portion of the map transitions at the boundary of Yellow Medicine Co Lyon Co, following the path of Co Hwy 18 and Co Hwy 43. The terrain is defined by its water management and drainage, notably the meandering Yellow Medicine River and the engineered Br R County Ditch Number 9 to the northeast. Local history is anchored by West Cem, situated along the section lines east of the river. The map illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, where named routes like Co Hwy 3 and numerous numbered avenues provide access to the farmsteads and fields that have long shaped the regional economy.
