2014 Map of Bowesmont

About this map

Bowesmont and the smaller settlement of Pittsburgh sit within the fertile Red River Valley, where the landscape is defined by the rigid grid of agricultural section lines. This area along the border of Pembina County is dominated by Interstate 29, which cuts a straight north-south path through the prairie, providing a modern transport corridor that contrasts with the meandering course of the Red River of the North to the east. The river serves as the natural boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota, separating Pembina from Kittson County. The local road network, including 92nd St NE and Co 11, illustrates the precise spatial organization required for large-scale farming in this region during the early 21st century.
