2011 Map of Gascoyne

About this map

Gascoyne centers this North Dakota landscape, situated along the northern reach of the quadrangle where the high plains terrain is defined by winding drainage systems. The small settlement is historically tied to the agricultural and transport rhythms of Bowman County, visible here just as the regional landscape was being documented in the early 21st century. Buffalo Creek meanders extensively through the central and eastern portions of the map, while Lightning Creek cuts across the southwestern corner, illustrating the natural watercourses that dictate land use in this part of the state.
