A Grant County township map answers two different questions around New Leipzig: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. This guide covers the free Grant County, ND options and how to read them.
How to use the Grant County township map
A township name on a county tax record refers to the civil township where the land near Elgin sits. Rural land in Grant County comes from the Public Land Survey System, with blocks about 6 miles on a side, split into 36 sections of about 640 acres.
Finding the tract on the Grant County map
The county's own public map is the Grant County Portico map, built on Sidwell's Portico platform, and it opens without an account for parcels in Leith and the rest of the county. The Grant County site shows a disclaimer before the map; click through to reach parcels near Leith. Click any Grant County parcel near Leith to open its record: owner, parcel ID and assessed acreage are generally listed. If the official address for the Grant County, ND map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Leith and the rest of the county.
Seeing township lines on the Grant County map
On the Grant County Portico map, the parcel record for a piece of ground near Leith generally lists the township, and many viewers draw township lines as a layer. Some Grant County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which is useful when a deed near Elgin cites T and R numbers.
Sections, quarters and roads in Grant County
On a grid map of Grant County, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a fresh survey township, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36. Quarter-quarter descriptions in Grant County are read from the end: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the Grant County grid. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Carson may not be exactly 640 acres.
Township records near Leith
If a county deed near Raleigh cites a township that no longer appears on the map, the county recorder can generally explain the change. For property tax questions, the township shown on the county record for a parcel near Leith is the one that counts.
What drives land use around Carson

From Carson to the back roads
From Carson, the seat of the county, the map spreads out to Elgin, Leith, and New Leipzig. Smaller places such as Heil, Raleigh, and Brisbane appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Grant County had an estimated 2,215 people in 2023 (Census Bureau), spread across about 1,659 square miles. Outside Elgin, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts. Grant County was organized in 1916, so deeds for older farms near Leith can run back a long way.
