1962 Map of Elk Falls

About this map

The settlement of Elk Falls sits at a geographic crossroads where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks parallel the Elk River. This early 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by its riparian networks and the transition between Elk and Chautauqua counties. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the river's winding course and tributaries like Wildcat Creek, while the southern reaches move into more dissected terrain across the Lafayette and Longton districts.
