1942 Map of Elmer
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The Old Chariton River Channel meanders through Macon County, tracing the ancient path of a river system that defined early settlement patterns in this region. This mid-century survey by H.A. Buehler reveals a landscape organized into civil townships like Walnut and Richland, where a high density of rural schools and churches anchored the community. Significant transportation corridors divide the terrain, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serving Elmer and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line connecting the southern towns of New Cambria, Callao, and Bevier.
