About this map

New Leipzig sits at the northern edge of this Grant County landscape, where the town's grid meets the wandering path of the Cannonball River. The map reveals a rural community deeply rooted in its heritage, marked by a high density of burial sites that reflect the area's ancestral makeup, including the Finnish Cemetery and Fleak Cemetery. These sites, along with Saint Johns Cemetery, Immanuel Cemetery, and Congregation Cemetery, provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of North Dakota.

Water defines the southern terrain, where Sheep Creek meanders toward the basin of Pretty Rock Lake. The survey details the section-line road system, from 72nd St SW down to 80th St SW, illustrating the late-modern agricultural organization of the Great Plains. The proximity of the Railway St corridor to the town center highlights the historical importance of rail transport in the growth of these prairie settlements.
