2017 Map of Si Merrell Slough

About this map

Si Merrell Slough and the surrounding high plains of Daniels County are defined by a network of drainage channels and small depressions just south of the Canadian border. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated agrarian landscape partitioned by the Public Land Survey System. Prominent terrain features like Square Butte rise above the drainage of Whitetail Creek and Outlet Creek, providing landmarks in an otherwise open, rolling topography. The region's transport is dictated by a grid of rural routes, including W Whitetail Road and W Charlie Creek Road, which connect isolated ranching or farming properties. Small water bodies like Willard Slough and Paradis Pond dot the landscape, indicating the seasonal water retention vital for the local environment and livestock.
