2014 Map of Scranton

About this map

Scranton serves as the primary hub in this corner of Bowman County, situated along the southern bend of Buffalo Cr. The township grid is well-defined by local routes such as Hamilton St SW and 88th St SW, which connect the residential and industrial areas of the town to the surrounding agricultural landscape. To the west, the settlement of Buffalo Springs sits near the banks of Buffalo Springs Lake, marking another point of human activity along the Us-12 corridor. The terrain is punctuated by the prominent Moga Butte to the east, rising above the prairie flats. Genealogists will note the location of the Scranton Cem just north of the town center, while hydrological features like S Fork Cedar Cr in the northwest corner illustrate the natural drainage patterns of this high plains region.
