2014 Map of Elmo

About this map

The town of Elmo sits at a geographic crossroads on the border of Carbon and Emery counties, defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and dry washes. The Carbon Canal and the N Br Cleveland Canal dominate the eastern landscape, representing the vital water infrastructure necessary for life in this arid basin. To the south, Desert Lake provides a rare water feature near the agricultural settlement, while the Elmo Cem serves as a local landmark for genealogical researchers. The surrounding terrain is marked by prominent natural features such as the Twin Peaks and the elevated Poison Spring Bench to the southwest. A grid of local roads like Jimmy Staker Rd Stake Rd and N Upper Miller Creek Rd connects the scattered homesteads and ranches that rely on the seasonal flows of Mathis Wash and Timothy Wash.
