About this map

Elmont and the surrounding Jackson County countryside are defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering drainage of several small tributaries. This 2012 survey shows a landscape transitioning from open agricultural tracts to more structured residential developments, particularly in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Several family-named and local burial grounds are scattered throughout the region, including Hoyt Cem in the north and the centrally located Half-Day Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogical research.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous creeks like Halfday Cr, Middle Fork Muddy Cr, and Indian Cr carving across the plains. In the southwest, the Mesa Verde Airport stands as a notable modern landmark amidst the traditional prairie terrain. The map's detail preserves the specific road network from 110th Rd down to NE 50th St, documenting the exact placement of homesteads and infrastructure at the start of the decade.
