2016 Map of Ellenboro

About this map

The Platte River and its numerous tributaries, including Willow Br and Cannon Br, carve a distinct drainage pattern across this Grant County landscape. The settlement of Ellenboro sits near the river's bend, while the small community of Union occupies the higher ground to the east. This 2016 survey illustrates a rural environment where land use is dictated by the high relief of Buckwheat Ridge, with agricultural fields following the contours of the upland plateaus between deep hollows like Coon Hollow Rd and Dry Hollow Rd. Local history is preserved in several scattered burial sites, including Fairview Cem and Oak Ridge Cem, which serve as landmarks alongside the Martin Fierro Airport. Further south, the Little Platte River and the Baker Ford Bridge mark the transition toward the southern townships.
