2024 Map of Bowbells SE

About this map

Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western portion of this 2024 survey, protecting the riparian corridor along Upper Des Lacs Lake. The landscape represents a modern look at the intersection of Burke, Renville, and Ward counties, where a disciplined grid of rural roads, including 96th St NW and 506th St NW, segments the surrounding prairie. This quadrangle captures the contemporary conservation footprint in North Dakota, illustrating the massive wildlife management area that spans the river valley. The map is primarily characterized by its vast, open hydrology and the administrative boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, specifically t162n r88w and surrounding townships, which define the property lines and farmstead access routes of the region today.
