2017 Map of Bowler

About this map

Bowler sits as a quiet settlement focal point in this high-plains landscape where the Carbon and Big Horn county lines meet. The terrain is defined by dramatic geographic breaks such as Pryor Gap and the prominent Black Butte, which overlook the expansive Bowler Flats. To the south and east, the map detail extends into the protected lands of the Custer National Forest, where steep drainages like Timber Canyon, Water Canyon, and Inferno Canyon cut into the hillsides. A clear signature of the area's transportation history is visible through labels like Railroad Grade Rd and Rail Bed Rd, tracing former rail corridors across the drainages of Sage Cr and Summit Cr. For those researching local lineages, the Bowler Cem remains a primary landmark of the community's early presence in this part of Montana.
