About this map

Elkton and the surrounding rural landscapes of Polk County are defined by the winding course of Weaubleau Creek and the expansive waters of Pomme de Terre Lake. This 2011 survey documents a region where local heritage is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Rountree Cemetery, Cook Cemetery, and Tillery Cemetery. The presence of Skyriders Airport and small settlements like Rondo and Flemington illustrates the transition between traditional agricultural lands and modern recreational infrastructure near the lake.

Water management is evident through the Vanderford Number Two Dam and Vanderford Number Three Dam along the creek's drainage. The eastern edge of the map shows the developed shoreline along Pomme de Terre Lake, with local roads like Artesian Rd and Ross Dr providing access to the waterfront. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Cave Spring Hollow and Horn Hollow, highlighting the varied topography of this Ozark-fringe landscape.
