2014 Map of Cogswell

About this map

Cogswell serves as the primary hub of activity in this part of Sargent County, situated at the intersection of ND-11 and several local avenues. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the Wild Rice River in the southeast and the expansive Meszaros Slough to the west. This survey provides valuable data for genealogists, as it identifies three distinct burial sites: Mt Calvary Cem on the outskirts of Cogswell, the Old Sargent Cem further east, and the Nicholson Cem near the smaller settlement of Nicholson. The grid of section roads and the presence of Ditch Number 11 illustrate the systematic agricultural development of the North Dakota prairie, where water management is essential to the local economy.
