2015 Map of Glen Elder South

About this map

Waconda Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Mitchell County region, where the Solomon River is harnessed by the Glen Elder Dam Rd. The town of Glen Elder sits just north of the reservoir, defined by a grid including W Main St and Railroad St. South of the water, the land transitions into a systematic grid of section roads like Tipton Rd and numbered routes such as 170 Rd. This rural expanse is notable for its numerous small burial grounds, which serve as primary markers of early settlement patterns and family histories. Genealogists can locate Fairview Cem, Walnut Creek Cem, and Naomi Cem, alongside others like Excelsior Cem and High Prairie Cem scattered near the banks of Little Walnut Cr and Antelope Cr.
