==Geography== Bowman County lies at the southwestern corner of North Dakota; its south boundary line abuts the north boundary line of the state of [[South Dakota]], and its west boundary line abuts the east boundary line of the state of [[Montana]]. The [[Little Missouri River (North Dakota)|Little Missouri River]] flows northward through the west part of the county; the [[North Fork Grand River|North Fork of the Grand River]] flows easterly through the lower part of the county, filling Bowman-Haley Lake in the process. Spring Creek flows south-southeasterly through the central part of the county, discharging into Bowman-Haley Lake. Bowman County's terrain consists of semi-arid high hills running north–south through the west-central part of the county, with lower hills in the remaining territory. The area is partially used for agriculture.<ref name=BCND>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bowman+County,+ND/@46.1129607,-103.8017385,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x532f11d141cc21bb:0x8d396d8071b45ddc!8m2!3d46.0945462!4d-103.556038 ''Bowman County ND'' Google Maps (accessed February 15, 2019)]</ref> The western part slopes to the north and west; the eastern part slopes to the east and south.
