Elk City Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Montgomery County quadrangle, where the Elk River is checked by the Elk City Dam. The terrain is defined by its drainage network, with Racket Creek, Gordon Creek, and Sycamore Creek carving through the prairie. Small rural clusters and historical focal points like Crane and Le Hunt sit near the reservoir's edge, while the namesake Table Mound rises as a distinct topographic feature to the east. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several scattered burial grounds, including White Cemetery in the northwest, Farm Ridge Cemetery, Simpson Cemetery, and Parker Cemetery near the river banks. The grid of section roads, including Sweeney Hill Rd and Table Mound Rd, reflects the enduring agricultural structure of the region.
