The map
Jamestown is the seat of Stutsman County in central North Dakota, built where the James River meets Pipestem Creek. The two watercourses cut a shallow valley through otherwise open prairie, and the town fills it. On a map the downtown grid is clear and regular, aligned with the railroad, while the rivers bend through it and bring curves to the edges.
Interstate 94 passes along the southern side of the city, and the railroad runs through the centre, both pointing east to Fargo and west towards Bismarck. North of town the James is held back by Jamestown Dam, forming a long, narrow reservoir, and Pipestem Creek has its own reservoir upstream. Beyond the city, section-line roads divide the plains into a square grid.
Jamestown is known for the World's Largest Buffalo, a concrete bison sculpture on a hill above the interstate, next to the National Buffalo Museum. A Jamestown map poster sets that local landmark in context: a disciplined railroad grid, two winding rivers and the long reservoirs that stretch north like fingers into the prairie.
The James River and Pipestem Creek join within the city, their curving courses cutting across the straight streets and giving the map its main movement.
North of town the dammed James forms a long, slender lake. At wider scales it adds a strong vertical shape to the poster.
Downtown follows a regular grid aligned with the railway, a pattern typical of towns founded along the rail lines of the northern plains.

Why Jamestown
For those raised in Jamestown or connected to it through college, family or work, the map is a clear picture of home. The meeting of prairie grid and winding river gives it more character than many plains towns.
