2011 Map of Ives

About this map

Saint Paul Cemetery sits as a quiet landmark within this expansive North Dakota landscape, situated near the western edge of the quadrangle. The settlement of Ives and several family-run operations, including the Oldis Ranch, Swenson Ranch, and Weisz Ranch, reflect the area's deep-rooted ranching tradition. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably Bacon Creek, which meanders through the central portion of the map, and the West Fork Deep Creek to the southeast. Transportation throughout this part of Bowman County is facilitated by local routes such as Fort Dilts Rd and County Hwy 4424. This record of the land captures the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the High Plains, where vast tracts of land are tied to specific homesteads and family names near the headwaters of Indian Creek and Cash Creek.
