1970 Map of New Salem NW

About this map

Sweet Briar Creek and Spring Creek carve through the prairie landscape of this 1970 Morton County survey, revealing a region defined by its water resources and emerging industry. The small settlement of Youngtown serves as a central point in this rural area, while the presence of a Strip Mine and multiple Gravel Pit locations indicate the importance of resource extraction to the local economy. At the northern edge, Mosbrucker Lake provides a notable landmark near the boundary between Oliver and Morton Counties. The map detail includes specific landmarks such as a designated Well and terrain markers like Caribou and Engelter, which offer valuable data for those tracing family land and historical boundaries in this North Dakota quadrangle.
