About this map

Elm Creek and Beaver Cr meander through the high plains of Mercer County in this 1972 survey conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the North Dakota Water Commission. The landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns and water management features, including several instances of a Flowing Well located across the townships. While primarily a rural expanse of the Great Plains, small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit. The map captures the region's topographical transition through detailed contouring, providing a clear record of the watershed and land divisions as they existed before modern agricultural and infrastructure changes altered the surface drainage of this portion of North Dakota.
