1978 Map of Mertz Slough

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Fairview and Boone townships define the high plains of Sheridan County in this late-1970s landscape, where the prairie is dotted with glacial wetlands and small-scale infrastructure. The terrain is dominated by the namesake Mertz Slough and the nearby Jones Lake, while the local economy is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of the Frueh Landing Field. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the exact locations of the Fairview Cem and St James Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for the rural community. The map also delineates the northern reaches of Denhoff and Goodrich townships, showing a transition toward the southern agricultural centers. This survey is particularly useful for observing the intricate network of field lines and section roads that structured North Dakota farming during this era.
