2024 Map of New Leipzig South

About this map

New Leipzig sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the BNSF Railway parallels the high ground above the Cannonball River. This contemporary survey of the rural boundary between Grant and Hettinger counties reveals a territory defined by historic community clusters, particularly evident through its numerous small burial grounds. The distribution of sites like the Finnish Cem, New Leipzig Baptist Cem, and Fleak Cem suggests the scattered nature of early homesteading patterns that persist today. To the south, the terrain descends toward Pretty Rock Lake and the branching waters of Sheep Creek, illustrating a prairie environment where water sources and rail access dictated the placement of every farmstead and faith-based community center.
