About this map

The Missouri Ozarks headwaters of the N Prong Jacks Fork and S Prong Jacks Fork define the landscape of this Texas County survey. Small agricultural settlements are scattered throughout the terrain, including Solo, Tyrone, Grogan, and the namesake community of Elk Creek. These locales are connected by a network of county roads like Mo-Ac and Highway DD, winding through the numerous drainages that feed the Jacks Fork system.

Evidence of local heritage is centered at the New Home Cemetery, while the northern reaches are marked by the presence of Dog Cr and Hog Cr. The map details the transition from high ridgeline roads such as Grandview Rd to the lower basins of Harmon Br and Peabody Br. The inclusion of Lake Gemay in the southeast corner provides a contrast to the seasonal branches and creeks that otherwise dominate this rural interior.
