2014 Map of Merricourt SE

About this map

Moores Lake and Happy Lake sit within the prairie pothole region of North Dakota, anchoring a landscape shaped by glacial activity. This terrain in Dickey County is defined by its drainage patterns, notably Bristol Gulch and Webber Gulch, which cut through the undulating plains. The map reveals a strictly regulated section-line road network, with routes like 96th St SE and 74th Ave SE providing the primary framework for access across the township. In the northeastern corner, the Elm River meanders across the territory, illustrating the sparse but vital water resources of the Northern Great Plains. The proximity of these lakes and gulches suggests a land focused on agricultural use and water management within the rural interior of the state.
