About this map

Saint Elmo serves as a primary hub on this early 1980s landscape, positioned at a significant intersection of the Conrail and Missouri Pacific railroads. The town’s structured grid includes a Jr High Sch and multiple religious sites like St Pauls Ch. To the north, the industrial footprint of Loudon Field is evident, while the rural surroundings are dotted with family and community landmarks such as Magnolia Corner and Watson.

The terrain is defined by the winding course of Moccasin Creek and the recreational waters of Lake Nellie. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including Maplewood Cem, Guy Cem, and Rhodes Cem. The map also captures the transition of the regional transport network, from local roads like 10th St to the larger rail lines of the Baltimore and Ohio, reflecting a period of established agricultural and industrial infrastructure in Fayette County.
