2015 Map of Elkton

About this map

Elkton and the surrounding rural landscape of the Missouri Ozarks are detailed in this 2015 study, which highlights a network of small agricultural settlements and natural water features. The map straddles the boundary of Hickory Co and Polk Co, centering on a plateau divided by several significant drainages. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the upper reaches of Pomme de Terre Lake and the meandering Pomme de Terre River, while Weaubleau Cr flows through the western sections near Flemington. Local history is anchored by several family-named burial grounds, including Rountree Cemetery and Cook Cemetery to the north, and McCracken Cemetery near the center. These sites, along with the hamlet of Rondo, offer a clear picture of the region's enduring rural character and historical family ties to the land.
