About this map

Elgin sits in the northwestern corner of this landscape, positioned where the high agricultural plains of the region begin to drop toward the river valleys. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Whitewater River system, including the N Fork Whitewater River and the meandering Middle Fork Whitewater River. These waterways have carved deep, winding coulees into the limestone plateau, creating a distinct contrast between the flat, gridded uplands and the intricate contours of the valley floors.
