1925 Map of Schrag

About this map

Batum and Schrag anchor this agricultural landscape in the mid-1920s, showing a region defined by its reliance on two major rail arteries. The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul cuts through the northern coulees near Moody, while the Northern Pacific serves the southern settlements. This era reflects a highly localized social structure, evidenced by the high density of rural schools such as the Schaffer School, Gering School, and Weber School, each serving families within walking or riding distance.
