1981 Map of New Town
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
New Town serves as a primary hub within the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation Boundary, reflecting the mid-century reorganization of this Missouri River landscape. The map provides a detailed view of the town's civic layout, including the High Sch, Cem, and New Town Municipal Airport. A significant portion of the sheet is defined by the waters of Lake Sakakawea, with underwater contours for the Van Hook Arm based on older 1949 surveys. This juxtaposition of the modern townsite with the submerged topography reveals the radical transformation of the local geography following the creation of the reservoir. To the south and east, the Van Hook State Wildlife Management Area borders the shoreline, while the surrounding uplands of Osborn and Howie are marked by various Gravel Pits and a prominent Pipeline.
