2020 Map of Merricourt SE

About this map

The rolling prairies of Dickey County are defined by their hydrological features in this recent topographic study of the region. Small, distinctive prairie potholes like Moores Lake and Happy Lake dot the western portion of the terrain, representing the characteristic glaciated landscape of the northern plains. These isolated water bodies are connected by a subtle network of intermittent drainages, including the eastern reach of the Elm River and the winding paths of Bristol Gulch and Webber Gulch. The township structure is clearly preserved by a grid of local roads such as 90th St SE and Co Hwy 2, which segment the landscape into traditional sections. This map captures the agricultural continuity of the area, showing how modern transportation routes like 96th St SE follow the historical section lines established during the early settlement era.
