2011 Map of Rogers

About this map

Linwood and Rogers anchor this section of the Platte River valley, where the waterway divides around large landmasses like School Island, Sheep Island, and Murphy Island. The landscape south of the river is defined by the sharp rise of Indian Hill and Linwood Hill, overlooking the confluence of Skull Creek and Duck Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area's agricultural and social infrastructure, from the Byrne Ditch irrigation system in the north to the cluster of community sites around Linwood, including the Linwood Post Office, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Linwood Cemetery. Further south, the wooded terrain near Sand Creek is home to Camp Moses Merrill, while the northern portion of the map shows the village of Rogers situated along the primary east-west transportation corridor. Local history is preserved in landmarks like Dawson Cemetery and the small riverside settlement of Riverside Acres.
