2018 Map of Medicine Butte SE

About this map

Mercer County's rural prairies and deep-rooted family history are recorded in this 2018 survey along the boundary with Oliver County. The landscape is largely defined by its township-and-range section lines and a grid of secondary roads like Co Rd 25 and Co Rd 16. For genealogists and local historians, the map's most significant markers are the dispersed burial grounds that dot the plains, including Peace Cem, Unruh Cem, New Gluecksthal Cem, and Voegele Cem. These locations reflect the area's early 20th-century settlement patterns, particularly the German-Russian heritage common to this part of the state. The terrain remains primarily agricultural, punctuated by local landmarks like 60th Ave SW and 24th St SW, which trace the high ground and coulees of the Missouri Plateau.
