2012 Map of Elmdale

About this map

The Cottonwood River meanders across this landscape in the heart of the Flint Hills, carving a path between the settlements of Elmdale and Clements. This 2012 topographic record documents the rural character of the region, where numerous tributaries like Silver Cr, Gould Cr, and Coyne Br feed into the primary river system. Near the village of Elmdale, local landmarks such as the Po and the intersection at Main St are noted, while further south, the Camp Wood area is established along the river banks. The map illustrates a network of local roads including Murphy Ave and Campwood Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and livestock operations typical of this part of Chase County. The drainage patterns of Holmes Cr, Folsom Cr, and Yeager Cr emphasize the dissected nature of the terrain away from the main river valley.
