About this map

Lone Elm and Pisgah serve as the primary focal points of this Cooper County landscape, characterized by the branching drainage systems of Clark Fork and Panther Cr. The map reveals a dense network of local routes, such as State Hwy U and State Hwy B, connecting rural family-named cemeteries that speak to the area's deep-rooted genealogy. Notable sites include the Zion Lutheran Cem near Lone Elm and the Trinity Lutheran Cem to the north, alongside more secluded burial grounds like Toler Cem and Candy Court Cem.

The terrain is defined by the winding paths of smaller tributaries including Tutt Br, Coulter Br, and Draffen Br. These waterways cut through the countryside, dictating the placement of farm-to-market roads like Turtle Creek Rd and Ellis Davis Rd. The area around Pisgah is particularly marked by the convergence of Pisgah Cr and Panther Cr, illustrating how the early settlement pattern followed these essential water sources.
