2011 Map of Bowbells NW

About this map

Upper Des Lacs Lake cuts a wide path through the prairie landscape in this northern borderlands region. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage of Stony Creek, which winds through a strictly surveyed grid of rural roads and section lines. Modern infrastructure is represented by the North Star Dam, a key hydrological feature regulating local water flow. The map illustrates a sparse, agrarian settlement pattern where long thoroughfares like County Rd-2 and numbered avenues such as 70th Ave NW connect isolated farmsteads and agricultural tracts. This 2011 survey captures the area as it remains deeply rooted in its rural character, with the natural contours of the lake and creek providing the primary geographic relief against the man-made township and range system.
