1958 Map of Rogers

About this map

Monte Ne and its surrounding landscape underwent a significant transformation as the waters of Beaver Lake reached into the narrow valleys of the Ozarks. The core of Rogers shows its mid-century footprint, anchored by the St Louis - San Francisco railroad and local institutions like the North Side Sch and South Side Sch. To the east, the rising lake level is meticulously documented, showing the inundation of the White River and the creation of prominent landmarks such as Horseshoe Bend and Monte Ne Shores. Insights into the region's older rural character remain in the numerous family burying grounds, including Mullins Cem and McDaniel Cem, alongside industrial features like the Quarry and the Pumping Station near Lake Atalanta. The map captures a moment when traditional settlements like Frisco were being integrated into a new recreation-focused shoreline economy.
