2024 Map of Bowdon SE

About this map

The prairie landscape at the intersection of Wells and Kidder counties is defined by its extensive wetlands and conservation lands. The Wells County Waterfowl Production Area and the Kidder County Waterfowl Production Area dominate the topography, preserving a network of potholes and marshes characteristic of the North Dakota drift plain. Settlement patterns here are sparse, with the rural character maintained by a grid of section roads like Co Rd 70 and 9th St SE. Genealogists and local historians will find the northern and southern edges of this area anchored by two significant burial sites: the Bowdon Advent Cem in the north and the Seventh Day Adventist Cem to the south. Aviation history is represented by the inclusion of the Buchmiller Airport, a small private facility situated among the scattered lakes and waterfowl habitats.
