About this map

New Salem serves as the central hub of this Morton County landscape, where the grid of the town site meets the rolling topography of the North Dakota prairie. The map documents several significant local landmarks, including School Hill and a cluster of burial grounds such as Graceland Cem, Peace Cem, and the Saint Pius V Catholic Cem. These features, along with the Po downtown, define the civic and spiritual character of the community.

To the southwest, the smaller settlement of Sims is situated near the banks of Sims Cr and Hailstone Cr. The surrounding terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Klondike Butte and Pointed Hill, illustrating the drainage patterns into Cut-Bank Cr and Crooked Cr. This survey provides a modern view of the rural road network, from established routes like Old Hwy 10 to the section-line roads that parcel out the township divisions.
