2024 Map of Bowman-Haley Dam

About this map

North Dakota and South Dakota meet along a surveyed boundary that divides this prairie landscape between Bowman County and Harding County. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Wilson Creek as it moves toward the south, eventually reaching the vicinity of Vessey Lake. This modern survey illustrates the persistent township and range system that dictates the road network, with routes like 100th St SW and 138th Ave SW following strict grid lines across the undulating topography. Local history and genealogy are anchored by two distinct sites on opposite sides of the state line: Haley Cem in the north and the Lady of Victory Cem further south. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, including Scranton Rd and Vessey Loop, which serve the remote ranching and farming tracts of the High Plains.
