About this map

Bowie serves as the primary hub of this Montague County landscape, characterized by a transition from the structured street grid of the town center to the undulating hills of the surrounding countryside. Significant landmarks like Queens Peak and Rattlesnake Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Denton Cr and Brushy Cr, illustrating the rugged topography that defines the region. Local history is etched into the landscape through several burial grounds, including Elmwood Cem near the city and the more remote Saint Peters Cem.

Transportation corridors radiate from the city, connecting it to smaller communities such as McDonald and Salona. The presence of the Bowie Municipal Airport and Mose Johnson Lake highlights the modern infrastructure and water management systems serving the community. This 2019 survey documents the intersection of rural agriculture and municipal development, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks and small-scale water features like Wells Br.
