2011 Map of Bowman SE

About this map

Bowman-Haley Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the confluence of several key drainages defines the local hydrology. The map illustrates a network of prairie waterways, most notably Stage Creek and Spring Creek, which wind through the terrain to feed the larger reservoir. These natural corridors are supplemented by Cold Turkey Creek and Alkali Creek to the west, while Lightning Creek traces the eastern boundary. This area of Bowman County is characterized by a sparse, organized road network, with County Hwy-0818 serving as a primary east-west artery across the central plains. The lack of concentrated town sites emphasizes the agricultural and open-range character of the region during this period.
