About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through the northeast corner of this Wells and Benson County landscape, which is characterized by a high density of small water bodies and seasonal wetlands. Rural life in the mid-20th century centered on township hubs and small-scale infrastructure, evidenced by the distribution of School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3 across the prairie. The settlement of Bremen sits in the southeast corner along the Burlington Northern railroad, serving as a transit point near the marshy expanse of Big Slough. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Viking Church and Unity Cemetery in the northern townships. The area is also notable for the National Waterfowl Production Area, which protects the habitat surrounding Norway Lake, Goose Lake, and Zumpt Lake. The namesake Black Hammer Hill provides a distinct topographical landmark in an otherwise subtly rolling prairie environment.
