2020 Map of Hamar

About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders sharply across the southern portion of this North Dakota landscape, carving a distinct valley through the prairie. In the north, the settlement of Hamar sits near the intersection of several local routes, including Hamar Rd and 30th St NE. This region is defined by its complex hydrography, where the wetlands of Black Slough and the waters of Battle Lake contrast with the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System. A notable center for local genealogy and history is found at the southern edge of the map, where Sigdal Church and the adjacent Sigdal Church Cem are located. The map also records the jurisdictional boundaries meeting in this area, specifically the convergence of Benson, Eddy, and Nelson counties, which has influenced local land ownership and road development patterns.
