2024 Map of Black Hammer Hill

About this map

Wells County Waterfowl Production Area dominates this prairie landscape, where conservation land interlocks with a grid of rural section roads. The terrain is defined by glacial depressions and water bodies such as Norway Lake, Goose Lake, and the marshy expanses of Big Slough. To the northeast, the Sheyenne River cuts across the corner of the map near its boundary with Benson Co. Human presence is marked by small-scale landmarks and local heritage sites, including the Viking Cem and Trinity Cem. The namesake Black Hammer Hill rises as a prominent local elevation amidst the scattered wetlands. Notable for genealogists and local historians is the Risovi Ranch Strip, reflecting the region's enduring ranching and agricultural heritage in this part of North Dakota.
