About this map

Elk City serves as the focal point of this Montgomery County landscape, situated where the meandering Elk River meets the waters of Duck Creek. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Hickory St and Jackson St, while the surrounding rural countryside is marked by several longstanding burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research. These include Oak Hill Cemetery on the eastern edge of town, Woodring Cemetery to the south, and the more distant Star Center Cemetery and Oak Valley Cemetery.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by a complex network of tributaries, including Little Hickory Creek, Bachelor Creek, and Salt Creek, which drain into the river basin. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Bob Faler Airport north of the city. The road network transition is evident through a mix of established state routes like 160 and various numbered county roads such as Co Rd 5400 and Saddle Rd, illustrating the modern connectivity of this Kansas river valley.
