2021 Map of Eldon

About this map

Eldon serves as the central hub of this Miller County landscape, where the street grid of the city gives way to the winding rural routes of the northern Ozarks. The topography is defined by the branching tributaries of Saline Cr and Little Gravois Cr, creating a series of ridges and hollows such as Thompson Ridge and Vaughn Hollow. Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Salem Cem, Skinner Cem, and Wenzel Cem, often located at the intersections of county roads or tucked away near residential clusters like Aurora Springs. The map also illustrates 21st-century land use patterns, from the aviation activity at Eldon Model Airpark to the residential development of Land of Lakes Incorporated south of the city. These features, alongside named locations like Hardy Hollow and Mount Pleasant, provide a detailed record of the contemporary rural and small-town Missouri landscape.
