2011 Map of Elkland

About this map

The Pomme de Terre River winds through the southwestern corner of this Dallas County landscape, where the rural settlements of Olive, Elkland, and Conklin serve as local hubs. This 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by small family cemeteries and agricultural life, with several Landing Strip locations indicating the importance of private aviation in these isolated communities. To the north and east, the drainage basin is shaped by Staten Creek, Greasy Creek, and Patterson Branch, while the terrain drops into Mutton Hollow near the river. Genealogists will find a concentrated cluster of historical burial sites, including Stever Cemetery, Davis Cemetery, and the Old Pleasant View Cemetery. The inclusion of localized water management features like Hannon Lake Dam and Dugan Dam illustrates the modification of the Ozark foothills for farming and livestock.
