2017 Map of Bowdle-Hosmer Lake

About this map

The glacial prairie landscape of the Missouri Plateau is prominently displayed across this 2017 survey of the North Dakota borderlands. Characterized by numerous small wetlands and larger bodies of water like Bowdle-Hosmer Lake and Horseshoe Lake, the region reflects a traditional rural settlement pattern centered on family and community hubs. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the area is punctuated by several religious landmarks, including Saint Joseph Catholic Cem and the Saint John's Cem - Johannes Gemeinde Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with Saint Joseph Cem and Bethel Number 2 Cem, provide a clear record of the area's denominational heritage. The map details the intersection of four counties, including the border between Campbell and Walworth, connected by a grid of rural routes such as Co Hwy 16 and Co Rd 4.
