2021 Map of Elk Creek

About this map

Solo and Tyrone anchor the high ground in this section of Texas County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Jacks Fork. Small settlements like Elk Creek and Grogan are connected by a network of rural routes such as Hwy H and Co Rd 4170, serving a community with deep roots visible in its numerous burial grounds. Genealogists can find important family landmarks like the Stultz Family Cem, Miller Cem, and Nearhome Cem. The terrain is carved by a dense drainage system including Hog Cr and the N Prong Jacks Fork, showing the transition from upland ridges to the hollows of the Southern Missouri hills. Religious life is marked by the Bethel Bible Church Cem and the Tyrone Freewill Baptist Cem, documenting the enduring social centers of this rural interior.
