1979 Map of Elmer
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Chariton River corridor dominates this northern Missouri landscape, showing the dramatic transition between the meandering Old Channel and the straightened modern river course. This hydrological engineering defines the valley, leaving behind oxbow features like Fish Lake, Round Lake, and Bone Yard Lake. The town of Elmer serves as a local hub along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which cuts diagonally across the floodplain. To the west, the terrain rises into higher ground at Drake Hill and White Hill, where the settlement of Ethel is situated. The map is a valuable resource for genealogical research, preserving the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds including Glasston Cem, Bunce Cem, and Agee Cem, alongside small rural landmarks like the Star Store.
