1981 Map of McElroy Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

McElroy Creek flows through the heart of this landscape along the Iowa and Missouri border, serving as the central drainage for a region defined by agricultural field lines and small-scale water bodies. The terrain is marked by the presence of several significant genealogical landmarks, including Stoner Cem and the High Creek Ch with its adjacent High Creek Ch Cem. These religious and burial sites, alongside Mt Olive Ch, suggest a long-standing rural community structure centered around parish life and family tracts. To the west, the topography shifts near the Nishnabotna river area, where Greys Lake sits near the border of Buchanan and Polk townships. The presence of a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower indicates the intersection of traditional farming life with late-twentieth-century infrastructure and communication.
