About this map

Elk Falls sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the Elk River winds through the rural countryside of Elk County. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section roads, including Grain Rd and 183 Rd, that organize the agricultural land between numerous watercourses. A significant hydrological feature is Polk Daniels Lake, which collects the waters of Game Creek and Pawpaw Creek in the northwest.

The eastern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the extensive drainage network of Hitchen Creek, including its named branches like West Hitchen Creek and Little Hitchen Creek. This drainage system, coupled with features like Mound Branch and Snake Creek, illustrates the undulating prairie terrain and its reliance on these small tributaries to feed the larger river system. The settlement of Elk Falls remains the primary hub, connected by the local road network that persists through the early 21st century.
