About this map

Rogers sits at the western edge of this 1950s terrain, where the established grid of the town center meets the winding hollows and ridges of the White River valley. To the east, the landscape is defined by the dramatic loop of Horseshoe Bend and the deep incisions of Esculapia Hollow and Sugar Hollow. The proximity of Lake Atlanta to the urban core and the presence of several natural springs, including Electric Springs and Diamond Spring, suggest the area's development as a destination for both recreation and health-related tourism.

Genealogical and local history details are abundant, particularly in the outlying areas. Small settlements and points of interest such as Monte Ne and Frisco are shown alongside country landmarks like Page Chapel and Prairie Creek Ch. The St Louis - San Francisco railroad provides the primary industrial corridor through town, while the surrounding hills are dotted with family burial grounds such as Williams Cem and Mullins Cem.
