2011 Map of Elsie NW

About this map

Red Willow Creek meanders diagonally across this corner of Perkins County, defining the primary drainage for an otherwise strictly organized agricultural landscape. The region is marked by a rigorous section-line road grid, characteristic of the High Plains, where transit is dictated by the Public Land Survey System. Two private aviation facilities, Holzfasters Airport in the north and Jantzen Airport in the southwest, indicate the role of light aircraft in managing these expansive farming operations. Primary north-south transit follows the Elsie Paxton Rd, which also appears as the Paxton-Elsie Rd, linking local producers to the broader regional transportation network. The sparse concentration of named landmarks underscores the specialized rural nature of this territory in the early 21st century.
