1983 Map of Bowen Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Isolated homesteads and the drainage basins of western South Dakota define this high plains landscape in Haakon County. Family-named outposts such as Gottlieben Ranch, Poss Ranch, and Bowen Ranch anchor the ranching culture of the region, situated along the winding course of the North Fork Bad River. The topography is etched by seasonal watercourses like Deadmans Creek, Mexican Creek, and Dry Creek, which illustrate the rugged drainage patterns typical of the state's prairie interior. In the southeastern corner, the presence of the C & N W railroad line and a double wood pole transmission line signal the infrastructure supporting this expansive ranching territory. This 1980s survey provides a clear look at the spatial distribution of these remote holdings and their proximity to the forks of the Bad River.
