2014 Map of Merricourt NW

About this map

Hilles Lake sits at the center of this rural landscape in Whitestone Township, Dickey County, where a meticulous grid of section roads defines the agricultural character of the region. The map reveals the local heritage of this prairie environment through its established burial grounds, notably Roloff Cem near the northern boundary and Hoffnungsfeld Cem to the south. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the North Dakota topography, where state roads like 69th Ave SE cut through the undulating terrain. The layout of numbered thoroughfares, from 81st St SE down to 89th St SE, illustrates the systematic land division that has governed the Plains for over a century, preserving a snapshot of the region's infrastructure and community landmarks.
