2012 Map of Elsmore

About this map

The agricultural grid of southeastern Allen County defines the landscape around the Elsmore area, where small creeks like Big Cr and Little Cr weave through section lines. Genealogy and local history are anchored by the presence of Old Elsmore Cem and Elsmore Cem, providing specific locations for researchers tracing the early families of this rural Kansas community. The naming convention of the road network is particularly distinctive, with east-west routes named after states such as Maryland Rd, Hawaii Rd, and California Rd, while north-south gravel roads are meticulously numbered. This intersection of state-named roads and surveyed sections creates a highly navigable map for identifying historic homesteads or rural drainage patterns along Mud Cr and Canville Cr during the early 21st century.
