The Rogers Spur is a wedge-shaped rock spur on the Walgreen Coast of Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica . On the Bear Peninsula, it rises at the head of the Brush Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using aerial photographs of Operation Highjump (1946–1947) from January 1947. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after James C. Rogers, an electrical engineer on a little-frequented branch of Byrd Station in 1966 .
