2012 Map of Elk Falls

About this map

Elk Falls sits at a bend in the Elk River, serving as the primary anchor for this rural landscape in southeastern Kansas. The settlement's grid is clearly defined by streets such as W Osage St and Wyandotte St, reflecting the area's organized development. Beyond the town, the terrain is shaped by a dense network of tributaries including Wildcat Cr, Clear Cr, and the northern reaches of N Caney Cr. The drainage patterns suggest the undulating prairie character of the region, where roads like Trail Rd and Valley Rd follow the natural contours of the land. This survey illustrates the 21st-century transition of the area, maintaining its agricultural bones while preserving the essential waterways like N Salt Cr and S Salt Cr that have long defined Elk County's topography.
