About this map

The Elk River winds through the northern and eastern portions of this Southeast Kansas landscape, defining a rural corridor marked by small-town infrastructure and quiet watercourses. Near the junction of the river and Bloody Run, the settlement of Oak Valley serves as a local focal point alongside the Oak Valley Cem. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern grid of county roads that navigate the complex drainage systems of Salt Cr, Bachelor Cr, and Little Hickory Cr, which together shape the region's agricultural layout.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of several small cemeteries, including Crum Cem and W Liberty Cem, which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares. Further north, the Longton City Fairgrounds stands as a notable landmark near the upper reaches of the river, while numerous smaller tributaries like Pan Cr and Coffey Br highlight the intricate hydrography of this Elk County terrain.
