2020 Map of New Salem NW

About this map

Youngtown stands as a focal point in this portion of the North Dakota prairie, situated along the winding course of Sweetbriar Cr. The landscape is defined by the section-line grid of rural roads, including Co Hwy 140 and Co Rd 140, which navigate the undulating terrain of the Missouri Plateau. Near the northern boundary between Oliver Co and Morton Co, the waters of Mosbrucker Lake provide a rare hydrologic landmark in a region otherwise dominated by ephemeral drainage patterns. This map documents the persistent agricultural footprint and land division system that has shaped the Dakotas for generations, preserving the specific placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure as they appeared in 2020.
