2017 Map of Bowman SW

About this map

Cold Turkey Cr and Alkali Cr define the hydrological character of this southwestern North Dakota landscape, carving through the high plains of Bowman County. The map reflects a meticulously gridded agricultural and ranching environment, structured by the Public Land Survey System as evidenced by section lines and township boundaries like t130n r103w. The transport network is comprised of section-line roads, including north-south routes like 146th Ave SW and east-west connectors such as Lewton Rd and Amor Rd. This 2017 survey illustrates the persistent rural density of the region, where seasonal drainages like Spring Cr provide the primary relief in an area dominated by large-scale land management and traditional prairie range divisions. While no primary settlements are named on this specific sheet, the naming of small creeks and rural roads provides essential locational data for researchers studying the modern topography of these prairie townships.
