1925 Map of Schrag

About this map

Hoffnungberg Church and Menno Church stand as central landmarks in this agricultural landscape surveyed in the early 1920s. Located near the Grant County and Adams County border, the area is defined by the deep incisions of Rocky Coulee, Farrier Coulee, and Bowers Coulee, which dictate the placement of transportation and small settlements. The rail network is the primary driver of development, with the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul running through the northern sections and the Northern Pacific cutting across the central plains.
