The ZMM Narrator, Chris and the Sutherlands Came Along This Road in Mid July 1968. At That Time This Land Was Experiencing A Fierce Heat Wave, and the Emotional Impact Of This Barren Tortured Landscape Made It Even Worse Them.
On my second trip to Miles City and Bozeman, I paid more attention after Bowman and was successful in finding the Narrator's Bad Lands. The transition from productive irrigated fields to this awesome scar is readily visible in aerial photos. Search Google Maps (or Mapquest) for Bowman, ND. Then request "combined map & aerial, then move West along Rt 12 for 14 miles. You will see what I mean.
