2024 Map of New Salem NE

About this map

Churchtown Lutheran Cem and Lutheran Bremen Cem stand as enduring landmarks in this rural landscape at the border of Oliver and Morton counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Sweetbriar Creek, which cuts through the undulating topography in the southern and central sections. This area of North Dakota is organized by a precise grid of rural roads, including Co Rd 84 and numerous numbered streets and avenues like 30th St SW and 41st Ave. The map reflects a classic Great Plains settlement pattern where community life centered around small Lutheran parishes and cemeteries established by early residents. The drainage patterns of the creek and the high ground between its seasonal tributaries dictate the placement of local infrastructure and section boundaries within several townships, including t140n r84w.
