2024 Map of Leith

About this map

The small prairie community of Leith sits at the northern edge of this Grant County survey, characterized by a deliberate grid of section-line roads cutting across the drainage basins of the Missouri River plateau. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Cannonball River as it snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Boxelder Creek and Morris Creek. Local landmarks such as Spring Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, providing a sense of the relief that historically influenced the placement of early homesteads and grazing lands. Genealogists and researchers will find the Leith Cem clearly marked at the edge of town near Main Ave, providing a specific coordinate for family history research in this rural portion of the state. The layout of rural routes like Heil Rd and numerous numbered streets reflects the late 20th-century development of the region's transport network.
