1971 Map of Merricourt NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and intermittent wetlands define this landscape in Dickey County, where the township boundaries of Northwest, German, and Whitestone meet. This 1971 field-checked map shows a rural agricultural pattern centered on localized community landmarks rather than concentrated towns. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds including Roloff Cem and Hoffnungsfeld Cem, alongside the Seventh Day Adventist Ch in the southwestern corner. These sites, along with two distinct Townhall locations, serve as the primary anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. The terrain is dominated by small, scattered water bodies, the largest being Hilles Lake, which sits near the center of the survey area. Small-scale industrial activity is represented by scattered Gravel Pit sites, reflecting the region's reliance on local natural resources for road building and maintenance.
