2014 Map of Hamlin

About this map

The Wild Rice River winds through this section of the Red River Valley, carving a distinct hydrological path across a landscape defined by North Dakota's characteristic section-line grid. Centered on the settlement of Hamlin, the map illustrates a rural environment where land use is dictated by the river's meanders and the presence of prairie potholes and wetlands like Berre Lake and Murach Lake. The boundary between Sargent County and Richland County runs north-south through the eastern portion of the sheet, providing a precise geographic reference for local historians and land surveyors. This documentation of the 21st-century terrain captures the persistence of the small community at Hamlin amidst an expansive agricultural network of numbered avenues and streets.
