1972 Map of New Leipzig South

About this map

Cannonball River meanders through this landscape in southern North Dakota, defining the drainage patterns south of New Leipzig. The early 1970s environment is characterized by a mix of agricultural land and early industrial activity, evidenced by several Strip Mines and a Gravel Pit scattered across the northern sections. Along the southern edge of the survey, the Pretty Rock National Wildlife Refuge provides a preserved area near Sheep Creek. Transportation through the region is anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the northern border. For those researching local family history, this map is exceptionally detailed regarding burial sites, specifically identifying the Congregation Cem, St Johns Cem, Immanuel Cem, Finnish Cem, and Fleak Cem, reflecting the diverse settlement patterns of the early 20th century.
