2017 Map of Ambrose

About this map

Ambrose sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, defined by a rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads that mark the agricultural development of Divide County. Located just south of the border between the United States of America and Canada, the town plan is clearly delineated by streets like Main St and Valley St. The map records the essential community infrastructure of this rural region, including the Ambrose Cem located west of the main settlement and the Immanuel Cem further south. Transportation routes such as ND 5 and Co 2 cut across the rolling terrain, which is dotted with numerous small wetlands and depressions typical of the northern plains. This topographic study captures the deliberate organization of space in a borderlands community where life centers on the section-line roads and the small town core.
