About this map

Cold Turkey Creek and Stage Creek define the drainage patterns of this Bowman County landscape, where the high plains of southwestern North Dakota are etched by seasonal waterways. The terrain is structured by a grid of section lines and gravel routes, including Bowman Haley Rd and 144th St SW, which facilitate movement through the ranching and agricultural lands south of the city of Bowman.

The presence of numerous small wetlands and basins scattered between the drainage of Spring Creek and Lightning Creek suggests a prairie pothole environment essential for local wildlife and livestock. This topographic study captures the precise township and range boundaries—from t131n r101w down to t129n r101w—that have organized the settlement and land use of this region since the original land surveys.
