About this map

New Town sits above the northern shores of Lake Sakakawea, an expansive reservoir formed by the Garrison Dam. The landscape reflects a modern era of development in Mountrail County, centered around the intersection of Nd-23 and Nd-1804. Educational and civic infrastructure are prominent in the town center, notably with the presence of Berthold Community Coll and the New Town Municipal Airport situated to the south of the residential core.

South and east of the main settlement, the map transitions into the deep waters of the Van Hook Arm, where the shoreline is defined by intricate inlets and elevation contours. This survey illustrates the relationship between the planned street grid of New Town—from 5th St N down to 4th St S—and the vast water resource that has reshaped this portion of the Missouri River valley. The surrounding rural areas are marked by a regular network of roads such as College Dr and 84th Ave NW, framing the plateau before it descends toward the lake.
