2024 Map of Hamar

About this map

Hamar serves as a central point in this prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of the Benson and Eddy county lines. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Sheyenne River, which carves a distinct valley through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by Colvin Creek as it meanders eastward. This 2024 map documents a region heavily focused on conservation and the natural hydrography of the Northern Plains, featuring extensive protected lands such as the Benson County Waterfowl Production Area and the Eddy County Waterfowl Production Area. Local history is anchored by the Sigdal Church Cem in the southeast, while numerous water bodies like Battle Lake and Black Slough dot the northern reaches, illustrating the pothole geology characteristic of this part of North Dakota.
