2014 Map of Leith

About this map

Leith stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Grant County, situated amidst a landscape of prairie drainages and gradual rises. The most prominent terrain feature, Spring Hill, overlooks a network of rural roads organized on a strict section-line grid, including 73rd St SW and 60th Ave SW. This 2014 survey documents the geographic relationship between the townsite and the meandering path of the Cannonball River, which snakes across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local waterways including Boxelder Cr and Morris Cr define the hydrological character of the region, feeding into the larger river basin. The map captures the infrastructure of this agricultural area, from the residential blocks of Leith clustered around Main Ave to the vast stretches of ranch and farmland defined by the surrounding road network.
