1968 Map of Bowman SW

About this map

Cold Turkey Creek and Alkali Creek drain this southwestern corner of Bowman County during the late 1960s, a landscape defined by its rural townships and the headwaters of the Grand River. This survey, conducted under the administration of Governor William L. Guy, details the topography of townships including Bowman, Amor, Ladd, and Hart. The map illustrates the practical infrastructure of the era, from water management at Unks Dam to the localized extraction of resources at several Gravel Pits and a Scoria Pit. These features indicate the ongoing maintenance of the region's road networks and the agricultural reliance on the scattered Springs found throughout the drainages.
