Angus Minnesota

Angus is nothing more now than a collection of houses, large grain elevators, a church and the township hall. I never really thought about Angus, until I took county highway 23 heading west to go to Grand Forks. I took this route because there are not any speed traps except one and that is the bump off of the BNSF railroad that runs next to US Highway 75. This bump has now been fixed but at that time you could do the Dukes of Hazzard across Highway 75.

The post office shown below was on the north west corner of County 23 and Highway 75 but was recently demolished. If you are someone who likes the iconic look of tall grain elevators rising out of the flat plain of the prairie then you will like the short drive through Angus. BNSF Elevator Directory lists some of them as belonging to Angus Coop Elevator.
