About this map

Elmore City and its surrounding rural landscapes are defined by an intricate network of watershed management and agricultural infrastructure. Numerous soil conservation structures, such as Wildhorse Creek Site 100 Dam and Rush Creek Site 34 Dam, dot the terrain along the many winding waterways like Panther Creek and East Rock Creek. This density of dammed sites suggests a landscape heavily modified for water control and livestock support.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Antioch Cemetery north of the city, situated along Antioch Rd. To the west, the prominent elevation of Table Hill overlooks the branching tributaries of West Rock Creek. The presence of small private airstrips like McKey Airport and various named family dams, including the Terry Gss Number 1 Dam and Speaks Gss Number 1 Dam, reflects the distributed nature of modern ranching life in Garvin County during this period.
