1971 Map of Merricourt

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Whitestone Battlefield State Park preserves a significant portion of this landscape in south-central North Dakota, marking the site of an 1863 conflict between the U.S. Army and Sioux tribes. The terrain, characterized by the Young and Whitestone townships, is a patchwork of prairie potholes and wetlands drained by the Elm River. The small settlement of Merricourt serves as the primary rail hub, situated where the Soo Line tracks cut across the plains. For genealogists, the map identifies specific community landmarks including the Merricourt Cem, the Whitestone Sch, and Picnic Area Graves within the park. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, water management is evident at Wilson Dam, highlighting the region's reliance on controlled water resources for the surrounding agricultural prairie.
