2020 Map of Hamberg

About this map

Hamberg serves as the quiet focal point of this rural prairie landscape in Wells County, situated near the boundary line of Benson Co. The township is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Co Rd 5 and 50th Ave NE, which connect isolated farmsteads across the undulating terrain. A significant natural feature of the area is Big Slough, which meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle, creating a marshy corridor amidst the vast agricultural fields. For those tracing family ties to this corner of North Dakota, the Hamberg Lutheran Cem remains a primary landmark on the outskirts of the townsite, marking the enduring presence of the local community. The map's detailed hydrography reveals a landscape dotted with numerous small depressions and seasonal wetlands characteristic of the northern plains.
