2014 Map of Gascoyne

About this map

Gascoyne occupies the northern edge of this Bowman County landscape, centered at the junction of Us-12 and Main St. This pocket of the Great Plains is defined by a grid of rural section roads, including Knife River Rd and 90th St SW, which weave through a terrain carved by meandering waterways. The industrial character of the region is grounded by the American Coalloid facility, situated just south of the primary settlement. The natural hydrology is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Buffalo Creek in the north and the winding path of Lightning Creek to the south. This survey illustrates the relationship between a small agricultural and industrial outpost and the expansive drainage systems of the North Dakota prairie, where local infrastructure like E Schuett Ave connects the homesteads to the primary regional thoroughfare.
