2014 Map of Coteau

About this map

Bowbells and Coteau anchor this survey of the northern prairie in Burke County, where the landscape is defined by the high, rolling terrain of the Missouri Coteau. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section-line roads, including 74th Ave NW and 98th St NW, which facilitate the region's agricultural economy. Cultural and infrastructure landmarks are concentrated near the settlements, with the Danish Cem located just north of the Cr-8 corridor. To the east, the Bowbells Municipal Airport sits near the town center. The natural hydrology is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and larger features like Shockley Slough and the winding course of Stony Cr, which provide essential drainage for this glaciated upland region.
