1953 Map of Glen Elder South

About this map

The Solomon River corridor defines this Mitchell County landscape, where the construction of the Glen Elder Dam transformed the valley. The expansive Waconda Lake now covers much of the northern terrain, but this survey captures the underlying structure of the region just as the reservoir began to alter the local geography. To the north, the town of Glen Elder sits adjacent to the Missouri Pacific railroad line, a vital transportation link that follows the river's path through the plains.
