1980 Map of Elkton

About this map

Pomme De Terre Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this 1980 orthophotoquad, where the impounded waters meet the winding course of the Pomme De Terre River. The terrain is characterized by a patchwork of agricultural clearings and dense woodlands, shaped by the drainage of Weaubleau Creek as it cuts across the western half of the sheet. Unlike a traditional line-drawn map, this aerial perspective provides a clear view of the actual land use and vegetation patterns surrounding the small rural hubs of Elkton, Flemington, and Rondo. The proximity of these settlements to the river system highlights the historical reliance on local waterways before the modern lake expansion altered the valley's profile.
