2020 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Hamilton serves as the primary settlement center of this eastern North Dakota landscape, situated within a grid of section lines and gravel roads. The town's small footprint is detailed down to its local street names, including Western Ave and Wall St. The surrounding countryside in Pembina County is primarily defined by its agricultural layout, punctuated by several burial grounds that offer significant genealogical value, such as Saint Anthonys Cem, Bathgate Cem, and the Adolph G Carl Cem to the east. The natural hydrology of the Red River Valley is visible through the meandering course of the Tongue River in the northwest and the drainage of the Big Slough. This modern survey reflects the enduring section-line road system that has dictated the region's geography since early settlement, providing a clear view of the area's contemporary rural structure.
