2015 Map of Bowdle SW

About this map

The prairie landscape of the Walworth Co Edmunds Co border is characterized by a high density of small depressional wetlands and potholes typical of the Missouri Coteau. This 2015 survey reveals a strictly organized section-line road network, where routes like 140th St and 326th Ave navigate around countless small water bodies. The agricultural and social history of the region is anchored by two religious landmarks: the Congregational Cem in the north and the Seventh-Day Adventist Cem further south, reflecting the homesteading patterns of different denominational groups. The hydrology of the area is defined by Swan Lake Cr in the northwest corner, while the southeastern section features the expansive Alkali Lake and the adjacent Alkali Flat (historical), indicating a landscape shaped by seasonal water fluctuations and salt-tolerant basins.
