2017 Map of Bowbells NW

About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the prairie of Burke County meets the drainage basin of the Souris River valley. Upper Des Lacs Lake occupies a deep glacial meltwater channel in the northeast, a significant water body in an otherwise high-plains region. Inland from the lake, the landscape is dissected by Stony Cr, which winds through the central sections. Local history is anchored at the Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Church Cem, situated near the junction of 70th Ave NW and 105th St NW. The map reveals a strict section-line road grid, including Co Rd 2 and Co 19, which reflects the systematic agricultural division of the land typical of the early 21st-century Great Plains.
