2011 Map of Bowbells

About this map

Bowbells serves as the focal point of this Burke County survey, situated at the junction of the region's agricultural road network. The town layout is defined by its relation to the rail line, evidenced by Railway St SE, and supported by local infrastructure like the Bowbells Municipal Airport. To the east, the landscape is marked by the winding path of Stony Creek, which is intercepted by the CCC Dam, a notable water-management feature that speaks to the engineering history of the northern plains. This 2011 record documents a community centered on tradition and transit, preserving the locations of Bowbells Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery on the town's western edge. The surrounding sections follow a strict grid of section roads, including County Rd 17 and numerous numbered routes like 97th St NW, reflecting the systematic settlement pattern of North Dakota's wheat-growing country.
