1964 Map of Elkader
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Turkey River carves a deep valley through this corner of Clayton County, anchoring the town of Elkader. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where Chicken Ridge and Highland rise above the winding waters of the Volga River and Cox Creek. Transport and utility infrastructure of the mid-1960s are clearly visible, from the Elkader Municipal Airport to the corridors of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. A notable detail for historians is the Old Railroad Grade tracing the Volga near Mederville, marking a shift in the local transit network. Local life is further mapped through the Fairground in Elkader and rural landmarks like the Townhall near the confluence of Coon Creek and the Volga, alongside several generational burial grounds including St Josephs Cem and Hartmann Cem.
