About this map

Elk Falls sits at the northern edge of this survey, established along the banks of the Elk River where the waterway winds through the Kansas landscape. The town's grid is defined by historical naming conventions, with streets like Montgomery St and Wyandotte St anchoring the small settlement. This 2018 study reveals a landscape heavily influenced by its drainage patterns, as several significant tributaries including Wildcat Creek, Clear Creek, and N Salt Cr converge toward the river basin.

South of the town center, the terrain is marked by the Elk Co Chautauqua Co boundary line, illustrating the division between these two rural counties. The local road network, including family and geographic identifiers like Cyclone, Blackjack, and Montgomery Rd, provides a framework for the agricultural and ranching properties that dominate the region. To the south, the headwaters of N Caney Cr begin their descent, showcasing the complex watershed that defines this portion of the Chautauqua Hills.
