1968 Map of Bowman SW

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Cold Turkey Creek and Spring Creek carve through the high plains of the Bowman and Gem townships in this late 1960s study. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral water drainage patterns typical of the North Dakota badlands border, where small reservoirs like Unks Dam managed local runoff. The area shows evidence of light industrial activity, specifically centered on material extraction for local road building and surfacing. Small-scale operations such as a Scoria Pit and multiple Gravel Pit locations are noted alongside the headwaters of Alkali Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and field boundaries in Ladd and Amor, reflecting the organized agricultural layout of the region during this era.
