1971 Map of Merricourt SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Wirch stands as a focal point in this 1971 survey of Dickey County, where the landscape is defined by the prairie potholes of the Missouri Coteau. The map reveals a rural community structure centered around localized landmarks like the Wirch Cemetery and a rural Townhall. This era in North Dakota's history is characterized by a high density of small, seasonal water bodies, including Wood Lake, Crow Lake, and the Crab Tree Lakes, which dot the terrain between established township divisions. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits suggests the ongoing importance of local material extraction for the region's road network, while the vast townships of Spring Valley and Albertha illustrate the organized agricultural grid. Notable modern infrastructure also appears, including Radio Towers positioned on the higher ground of the pothole region.
