2022 Map of Elma
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Elma stands as the primary settlement in this corner of northern Iowa, situated just north of the Howard Co Chickasaw Co line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Wapsipinicon River and its various tributaries, including the E Fork Wapsipinicon River and Mead Cr. These waterways historically dictated the settlement patterns of the region, influencing the placement of smaller communities like Alta Vista and the rural area of Deerfield. Local genealogy and land history are anchored by several established burial grounds, including Calvary Cem, Union Cem, and Deerfield Cem. Modern conservation efforts are visible through the Price Wildlife Habitat Trl, which traverses the terrain near the Chickasaw county border, while a rigid grid of country roads such as Co Line Rd and Co Hwy T76 maintains the agricultural structure of the plains.
