2013 Map of Elk Horn

About this map

Elk Horn anchors this Shelby County landscape, a community defined by its precise grid of streets such as Tivoli St, Park St, and Washington St. The surrounding terrain is heavily partitioned by an extensive township road network, including Yellowwood Rd and Co Rd-F58, which facilitates movement between the numerous agricultural plots that dominate the quadrangle. This 2013 survey illustrates the continued importance of the region's hydrological system, with Indian Cr and Elkhorn Cr carving drainage patterns through the farmland. Aviation presence is noted at the Wheatley Farms Airport located south of the main settlement. The map serves as a detailed record of rural land management in the early twenty-first century, showing the intersection of natural waterways like Squaw Cr and Camp Cr with the rigid human-imposed geometry of the Iowa countryside.
