2017 Map of Tagus

About this map

Tagus sits at the intersection of the prairie and the political line separating Ward and Mountrail counties. This North Dakota landscape is defined by its glacial potholes and small wetlands, which dot the township lines from t157n r88w down to the shores of Carpenter Lake. Local heritage is anchored by two distinct burial grounds, Tagus Lutheran Cem and Saint Olaf Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the Scandinavian heritage that shaped this region's farming community. The transport network reflects a transition from historic routes to modern section lines, featuring Old Hwy 2 alongside a grid of gravel roads like 64th St NW and 408th St NW that facilitate the movement of grain and machinery across the Great Plains.
