About this map

Elm Springs sits at the heart of this rural landscape, which transitioned from mid-century agricultural patterns to updated infrastructure by the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, notably the North Cottonwood River and Holland Creek. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through numerous small community centers and burial grounds, such as Elm Springs Ch, Logan Ch, and the Friedental Cem.

Industry in the northwest corner is marked by the Fanska Oil Field and Fanska South Oil Field, illustrating the area's resource extraction history alongside its farmsteads. The survey highlights the intersection of several townships, including Holland, Logan, and Moore, where the Sixth Principal Meridian serves as a primary survey boundary. To the southeast, the open land transitions toward Durham Park, providing a clear view of the regional settlement distribution before modern consolidation.
