2011 Map of Elmwood

About this map

Elmwood serves as the primary hub for this agricultural portion of Cass County, positioned at the intersection of a vast grid of county roads. The settlement is anchored by the Elmwood Post Office, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Weeping Water Creek to the north and the North Fork Little Nemaha River to the southeast. Water management is a significant theme across the township, evidenced by several man-made features such as Weyers Reservoir, Wilson Creek Reservoir 12-25, and the Grade Stabilization Dam 12-25. This rural infrastructure supports a patchwork of farmsteads connected by named routes like Fletcher Ave and McMillian Market Rd. Local history researchers will find the Pleasant Hill Cemetery in the southern portion of the quadrangle, and aviation interest is represented by the Bornemeier Airstrip located north of the town center.
