2020 Map of Bowdon

About this map

Bowdon serves as the central hub for this portion of Wells County, situated at the intersection of a grid-iron street network that includes Enville St and Railway St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the winding course of Rocky Run, which cuts through a terrain punctuated by numerous small depressions and wetlands. This area reveals a dense history of early settlement through its scattered rural burial grounds, including Wayside Cem and Peterson Cem just west of the town center. Further afield, the presence of the Fuhrman Family Cem and Mielke Cem illustrates the traditional pattern of family and community interments common across the North Dakota plains. The map's detail provides a clear view of the township and range system, showing the precise organization of sections and county roads like 40th Ave NE that facilitate the agricultural economy of the region.
