2024 Map of Gascoyne

About this map

Gascoyne serves as the focal point for this Bowman County landscape, situated along the northern reach of the map. The settlement is defined by its grid, featuring Main St and the nearby Gascoyne Cem, providing a clear view of the town's spatial footprint. To the east, the industrial presence of American Colloid points to the region's mineral extraction history, specifically the mining of bentonite clay which has long shaped the local economy. The terrain is drained by the winding courses of Buffalo Creek in the north and Lightning Creek in the southwest. These watercourses cut through the prairie, which is otherwise marked by a sparse network of section roads like Gascoyne Rd and 728th Ave SW, illustrating the vast, agricultural township structure typical of western North Dakota.
