1959 Map of Mercer SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Heckers Lake and the Canal system dominate this prairie landscape at the junction of McLean, Sheridan, and Burleigh Counties. The terrain is defined by the distinct townships of Edgemont and Wilson, where a network of rural schoolhouses served the mid-century farming community. These include Park Sch No 2 and several numbered districts like School No 5, providing a clear record of the local educational infrastructure before rural consolidation. The southern portion of the map is marked by the winding course of Painted Woods Creek, while the presence of the Bethel Cem and another local Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogical research. A Gravel Pit near the creek line suggests the small-scale local resource extraction that supported the area's development and road maintenance during this period.
