2011 Map of Bowbells SE

About this map

Upper Des Lacs Lake dominates the western portion of this Burke County landscape, carving a deep valley through the northern prairie. This 2011 survey reveals the highly organized grid of rural section lines and township roads that define the agricultural character of the region. A notable point of orientation is Nine Mile Corner, where several local routes converge. The map documents the layout of gravel and paved roads such as 63rd Ave NW and 548th Ave NW, which facilitate transport across the open plains toward the lake basin. The lack of dense development underscores the area's rural nature, focused on the intersection of the natural waterway and the human-made grid system common to this part of North Dakota.
