2011 Map of Bowdon

About this map

The prairie town of Bowdon serves as the focal point of this Wells County landscape, where the rural grid of North Dakota is defined by long, straight sections of section-line roads. The town's layout is grounded by its history along the tracks, seen in Railway St W and major thoroughfares like Park Ave and Warrington Ave. Outside the town center, the terrain is dotted with seasonal wetlands and small basins, with the drainage of Rocky Run cutting through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. For those researching local family history, the map specifically locates the Wayside Cemetery just west of the town site and the Mielke Cemetery further east, providing vital markers for genealogy and local heritage. The extensive road network, from 38th Ave NE to 43rd Ave SE, illustrates the organized agricultural settlement patterns that have shaped this region since its early development.
