2011 Map of Scranton

About this map

Scranton serves as the primary hub for this portion of Bowman County, positioned along the meandering path of Buffalo Creek. The settlement is closely tied to the agricultural and prairie landscape, with Scranton Cemetery located just north of the residential center. Further west, Buffalo Springs and Fisher Field illustrate the sparse but deliberate distribution of communities across the high plains. The landscape is defined by its water management and distinct terrain features, notably the Buffalo Springs Lake created by the Buffalo Springs Dam. In the northeast, Moga Butte rises above the surrounding flats, while the South Fork Cedar Creek drains the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Local transportation is facilitated by thoroughfares such as Scranton Rd and Circle K Rd, which connect these isolated homesteads and settlements across the vast North Dakota horizon.
