About this map

Elkton and Flemington anchor this rural landscape in the early 1990s, where the boundaries of Hickory and Polk Counties meet. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Pomme De Terre Lake and the Pomme De Terre State Wildlife Area, reflecting a region shaped by modern conservation and water management. A notable vestige of earlier transportation is the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the western section, providing a clear path for those tracing the history of local rail infrastructure.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites scattered across the terrain, including Cook Cem, Rountree Cem, Leiman Cem, and McCracken Cem. These markers, along with Durnell Chapel, suggest a persistent pattern of small rural communities and family homesteads. The water network is defined by the winding course of Weaubleau Creek and its tributaries like Rule Creek, flowing through the broken terrain of Cave Spring Hol toward the larger reservoir system.
