2015 Map of Oakdale

About this map

Elkton and Oakdale anchor this rural landscape where numerous small watercourses, including Elkhorn Cr and Archie Cr, define the topography. The region is characterized by a dense network of county roads and family-named landmarks that speak to generations of local settlement. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, such as the Saint Johns Evangelical Cem near Plum Hill and the Oak Dale Cem further south. The settlement pattern remains oriented toward established crossroads like Lively Grove and Stone Church. This survey illustrates how the natural drainage of Williams Cr and Brushy Cr interacts with a strictly gridded road system, reflecting the agricultural heritage and persistent community structure of this Washington County area.
