2014 Map of Bowbells NW

About this map

Upper Des Lacs Lake cuts a striking diagonal across this landscape along the international border between United States and Canada. Located in the northern reaches of Burke County, this area is defined by its wide, open agricultural grid and the drainage of Stony Creek. The tiny settlement of Perella serves as a lone named point of interest in the southwestern portion of the map, illustrating the sparse nature of human habitation in this borderland region during the early twenty-first century. A network of rural section roads, including 105th St NW and Cr-19, organizes the landscape, while the intricate contours around the lake basin reveal the topographic complexity of the Des Lacs Valley.
