2024 Map of Merricourt NW

About this map

The Dickey County Waterfowl Production Area dominates this prairie landscape, where countless small wetlands and seasonal ponds dot the township grid. This 2024 survey captures a region defined by its conservation easements and agricultural heritage, centered around Hilles Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with religious and familial landmarks, preserving the locations of several isolated burial grounds including the Pioneer Seventh - Day Adventist Cem and the Seventh - Day Adventist Cem. The presence of the Hoffnungsfeld Cem and Roloff Cem further illustrates the pattern of early family settlements and ethnic church communities that established themselves across this section of the Great Plains. A precise network of range and township lines, such as t132n r66w, structures the vast, open terrain.
