2009 Map of Elmer

About this map

Elmer and the nearby intersection at Cruppers Corner anchor this agricultural landscape in Reno County, Kansas. The map captures a transition between traditional prairie farming and local aviation, evidenced by both the Mills Landing Field to the north and the Sunflower Aerodrome further south. The land is drained by the winding paths of Sand Creek and Red Rock Creek, which cut across the grid-iron road system that defines the region. Cultural markers such as Fairview Cemetery provide stable points of reference for genealogists tracking local families. The presence of specialized street names like Coral Sea Rd and Lexington Rd near the aerodrome suggests a modern residential development integrated with the local airfield, contrasting with the established rural character of the surrounding plains.
