2011 Map of Merricourt

About this map

Merricourt stands as the primary settlement in this portion of Dickey County, situated along County Hwy 2 in a landscape defined by prairie potholes and glacial till. The town’s social and historical geography is anchored by the Merricourt Cemetery to the southeast, providing a vital point of reference for genealogists and local historians. To the south, the Elm River meanders across the lower portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the drainage patterns of the Great Plains. The map also highlights Wilson Dam on the eastern edge, showing the localized management of water resources in this agricultural region. The dense grid of section roads, including 73rd Ave SE and 89th St SE, illustrates the late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure that continues to support the area’s farming heritage.
