2024 Map of Tagus

About this map

The small settlement of Tagus sits at the intersection of Tagus St and Old Hwy 2, serving as a central point in this prairie landscape along the border of Mountrail and Ward Counties. This area is defined by its numerous small wetlands and glacial potholes, many of which are protected within the Mountrail County Waterfowl Production Area and the Ward County Waterfowl Production Area. These conservation tracts, including the Wcwpa, illustrate the region's commitment to habitat preservation within the North Dakota plains. Local heritage is preserved at the Saint Olaf Cem and Tagus Lutheran Cem, which stand as landmarks for genealogists tracing families in these rural townships. The land is organized by a strict grid of section lines, with routes like Co Hwy 8 and 86th Ave NW facilitating movement across the undulating terrain.
