2010 Map of Glen Elder North

About this map

Glen Elder sits on the northern edge of the massive Waconda Lake reservoir, serving as the primary anchor for this rural landscape in Mitchell County. The map details a complex network of waterways that feed into the lake, including Limestone Creek, Frog Creek, and the uniquely named Disappointment Creek. These streams carve through a predominantly agricultural grid, where the placement of the Athens Cemetery and Glenwood Cemetery provides valuable landmarks for local genealogy and land-use history. The terrain is defined by the intersection of small-town infrastructure, such as Nash St, and the expansive shoreline of the reservoir, illustrating how the 20th-century creation of the lake fundamentally altered the local drainage patterns of Ash Creek and Spring Branch.
