About this map

Scranton sits at the heart of this North Dakota landscape, situated along a transportation corridor that follows the winding path of Buffalo Creek. This modern survey illustrates the enduring patterns of rural Bowman County, where the grid of sections is punctuated by long-standing community landmarks. North of the town center, the Sacred Heart Cem and Peace Lutheran Cem - Scranton Cem serve as important genealogical touchstones for the region.

The terrain transitions from the lowlands of the creek to notable elevations like Moga Butte in the east. Infrastructure such as the Bowman Haley Dam and Bowman Haley Dam Rd highlights the management of water resources in this prairie environment. Smaller settlements like Buffalo Springs and the network of local routes, including S Main Buffalo Springs and Circle K Rd, reflect the agricultural and residential connectivity of the modern era.
