Bowman County, North Dakota

Bowman Location Map North Dakota

The southwestern corner of North Dakota is home to Bowman County. Wide open spaces define this rural area. Bowman is the county seat and serves as the local hub.

You’ll find dinosaurs here (or at least their fossils). The Pioneer Trails Regional Museum showcases the area’s prehistoric past. Oil development has brought new opportunities to the county.

Ranching and farming are the economic mainstays. The annual PRCA rodeo brings cowboys from far and wide. The night sky here is something to behold. That’s why star-gazing is a popular pastime here.
