2020 Map of Newburg

About this map

Newburg and Russell anchor this agricultural landscape in North Dakota, where the grid of sections and section-line roads defines the rural economy. The presence of an Abandoned RR passing through Russell serves as a reminder of the rail-dependent transport networks that once vitalized these northern prairie settlements. This 2020 map documents a transition toward consolidated acreage, yet many of the foundational community landmarks remain central to the geography. Local genealogy and history are preserved through three primary burial sites: Newburg Cem, Dovre Lutheran Cem, and Russell Cem. Along the eastern edge of the survey, the LaPorte Coulee breaks the level terrain, providing natural drainage for the surrounding fields. The southern boundary is marked by the line dividing Bottineau Co and McHenry Co, tracing a administrative border across open farmland.
