2011 Map of Leith

About this map

The Cannonball River meanders across this rural Grant County landscape, providing a sharp contrast to the rigid grid of section roads like 66th St SW and 60th Ave SW. This 2011 survey illustrates the agricultural and industrial character of the region, centered on the small settlement of Leith. The area north of the town site is marked by historic resource extraction, including the Binek Mine, Lah Mine, and Peterson Mine, all situated near the prominent elevation of Spring Hill. Transportation routes such as Heil Rd and Leith Rd connect these outlying resource points to the core community, while Boxelder Creek and Morris Creek drain the surrounding prairie. This map serves as a primary record of the physical footprints of local coal or clay mining operations and the enduring layout of this North Dakota township.
