2018 Map of Mercer

About this map

The town of Mercer anchors this prairie landscape along the eastern edge of McLean County, where the agricultural grid meets the McLean Co Sheridan Co line. Established as a focal point for local transportation and trade, the town's original street plan is detailed with residential thoroughfares like Max St and Regan St, centered around the Railway E corridor. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent imprint of early 20th-century settlement patterns on the modern landscape, particularly evident in the preservation of the Mercer Hillside Cem north of town and the Zion Lutheran Cem to the south. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and the Westerlind Airport, reflecting the region's historical reliance on both traditional rail and private aviation for connectivity across the North Dakota plains.
