Bouse is an unincorporated community in La Paz County, Arizona, United States, located in the western part of the state, about 160 kilometers northwest of Phoenix. The town is situated in the Sault River Valley region, at an elevation of about 280 meters above sea level, and has a typical Sonoran Desert climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters.
Dating back to the early 20th century, Bowes was originally founded as a watering station for the Arizona and California Railroad. Its name comes from Thomas Bouse, an early settler, and evolved into a local place name. During World War II, Bouse Army Airfield was established nearby and used as a military training base.
According to the most recent data, Bouse has a population of approximately 500, which is dominated by retired residents and seasonal visitors. The economy is supported by tourism and small services, with the surrounding desert landscape and outdoor recreational activities (e.g., off-road vehicles, hiking) attracting visitors. Community amenities include a post office, small stores and RV campgrounds, and the pace of life is slow and quiet.
Bowes is bordered by U.S. Highway 60, which connects the area to neighboring cities such as Wickenburg and Quartzsite, and is characterized by desert plains and low hills, as well as the unique ecology of the nearby Lake Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. The area is known for its star-clear night skies, making it an ideal location for stargazers.
