1961 Map of Rogers

About this map

The town of Rogers serves as the focal point of this North Dakota prairie landscape, situated at the junction of the Northern Pacific and Soo Line railroads. The map illustrates the agrarian township structure of Barnes County, with sections divided into Edna, Rogers, Anderson, and Stewart. A distinct corridor of conservation is visible at the Tomahawk National Wildlife Refuge, which provides a protected contrast to the surrounding grid of section lines and farmsteads. Local history details include the Coleman Sch in the northeast and numerous Gravel Pits that suggest local industry supporting regional road building. Water features like Otter Slough interrupt the otherwise orderly agricultural layout, while a series of benchmark elevations, such as BM 1425 and BM 1428, provide precise vertical control for the rolling terrain of the Missouri River Basin project area.
