2014 Map of Merricourt

About this map

Merricourt stands at a rural road intersection in the northern Great Plains, serving as the primary anchor for this corner of Dickey County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of sectional roads, including 77th Ave SE and 83rd St SE, which partition the undulating terrain into the traditional agricultural grid of the region. Just south of the settlement lies the Merricourt Cem, a vital site for genealogical research in this sparsely populated township. The southern portion of the area is drained by the Elm River, which meanders through the prairie. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century where the primary infrastructure remains focused on farm-to-market accessibility, evidenced by the prominence of routes like Cr-2 and Cr-3b connecting the scattered homesteads to the village center.
