2024 Map of Bowesmont

About this map

Bowesmont and Pittsburgh anchor this modern survey of the Red River Valley, where the Red River of the North defines the winding border between North Dakota and Minnesota. The landscape is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads, including 84th St NE and 160th Ave NE, which facilitate the region's agricultural movement. Central to the map is the corridor of Old Hwy 44, passing near the Bowesmont Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research. The map illustrates the sharp contrast between the linear human development of Pembina County and the sinuous, natural boundary formed by the river as it separates Kittson County from Pembina County. This layout reflects the enduring reliance on the township and range system for organizing this productive farmland.
