2020 Map of Bowesmont

About this map

Bowesmont and the small settlement of Pittsburgh occupy the fertile agricultural plains of the Red River Valley in this modern survey. The Red River of the N (Wakpa) serves as a meandering natural boundary along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, marking the divide between Pembina County, North Dakota, and Kittson County, Minnesota. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural roads, including Old Hwy 44 and numerous numbered streets and avenues. For those tracing local history, the Bowesmont Cem is a primary landmark situated near the town center. The map illustrates the contemporary transportation network and the enduring rural settlement pattern of the northeastern Red River Valley, where the topography remains relatively flat and dominated by agricultural development.
