2012 Map of Bowdle SE

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands define this section of Edmunds County, where the landscape is organized by a precise grid of rural section roads. This 2012 survey illustrates the agricultural character of the region just south of the Great Northern railway corridor, though the tracks themselves lie outside these boundaries. Co Hwy 1 serves as a primary north-south artery in the western portion of the map, intersecting east-west routes like 143rd St and 146th St. The irregular shorelines of the numerous small basins contrast with the straight lines of 327th Ave and 334th Ave, revealing how drainage patterns influenced the placement of homesteads and field borders in this part of the Dakotas.
