2011 Map of Mercer SW

About this map

Bethel Cemetery sits on a quiet rise in Burleigh County, marking a site of local heritage within a landscape shaped by glacial waters and modern agricultural transit. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Painted Woods Creek in the south and the prominent presence of Heckers Lake to the north. This 2011 survey reveals a transition in the local infrastructure, where the established path of County Hwy 20 and New Johns Lake Rd provides access to the diverse water bodies. The map captures the rectilinear grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 8th Ave SW and 471st Ave NE, which organize the prairie into a productive network of farms and fields typical of central North Dakota.
