2010 Map of Elmo

About this map

Elmo and its surrounding rural hamlets are centered in this Kaufman County landscape, illustrating a transition between small agricultural settlements and managed water resources. North of the town, the New Terrell City Lake and Old Terrell City Lake dominate the upper watershed, while the southern landscape is dotted with smaller water management projects including the Tonkersley Lake Dam and numerous Soil Conservation Service sites. Small crossroads like Frog, College Mound, and Abner remain linked by a network of farm-to-market roads and county lanes such as Kaufman Rd and Abner Rd. The intricate drainage system of Hardin Branch, Eagans Creek, and Anthony Branch shapes the terrain, leading toward the Big Cottonwood Creek in the south. The presence of the Elmo Cemetery provides a fixed point for genealogical research in this long-settled part of North Texas.
