  We present radio continuum and polarization images of the North Polar Spur
(NPS) from the Global Magneto-Ionic Medium Survey (GMIMS) conducted with the
Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory 26-m Telescope. We fit polarization
angle versus wavelength squared over 2048 frequency channels from 1280 to 1750
MHz to obtain a Faraday Rotation Measure (RM) map of the NPS. Combining this RM
map with a published Faraday depth map of the entire Galaxy in this direction,
we derive the Faraday depth introduced by the NPS and the Galactic interstellar
medium (ISM) in front of and behind the NPS. The Faraday depth contributed by
the NPS is close to zero, indicating that the NPS is an emitting only feature.
The Faraday depth caused by the ISM in front of the NPS is consistent with zero
at b>50 degree, implying that this part of the NPS is local at a distance of
approximately several hundred parsecs. The Faraday depth contributed by the ISM
behind the NPS gradually increases with Galactic latitude up to b=44 degree,
and decreases at higher Galactic latitudes. This implies that either the part
of the NPS at b<44 degree is distant or the NPS is local but there is a sign
change of the large-scale magnetic field. If the NPS is local, there is then no
evidence for a large-scale anti-symmetry pattern in the Faraday depth of the
Milky Way. The Faraday depth introduced by the ISM behind the NPS at latitudes
b>50 degree can be explained by including a coherent vertical magnetic field.
