2011 Map of Elk Creek

About this map

The Elk Creek settlement and its namesake waterway anchor this rural landscape in Texas County during the early 21st century. The map reveals a network of country roads such as Steely Chapel Rd and Highway UU that connect small, dispersed communities including Solo, Tyrone, and Stultz. A notable historic marker is the Louisa Post Office, located in the southern reaches of the quadrangle near the South Prong Jacks Fork. The terrain is defined by its complex drainage system, where numerous branches like Harmon Branch and Peabody Branch feed into more significant water bodies. To the east, the North Prong Jacks Fork carves through the land near Grogan, illustrating the typical Ozark pattern of ridges and valley-bottom settlements that has persisted for generations in this part of Missouri.
