2021 Map of Elsey

About this map

The settlement of Elsey sits in the Ozark hills of Stone County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of deep hollows and high ridges. Significant for family historians, the area is home to several well-maintained burial grounds including Hilton Cem, Noland Cem, and Summers Cem. The map illustrates a transition from the narrow drainages of Peavine Hollow and Slickrock Hollow toward the broadening waters of Table Rock Lake in the southeast. This shoreline includes the prominent McCord Bend and the distinctive curve of Horse Shoe Bend. Transport in the region relies on a mix of state routes and rural connectors such as State Hwy 173 and Flat Creek Rd, which navigate the winding topography around Cross Roads. The presence of numerous named springs, such as Carney Spring, highlights the karst-influenced hydrology of this Missouri landscape.
