2019 Map of West Elkton

About this map

West Elkton sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along a network of historic roads like Somerville West Elkton Rd and W Elkton Gifford Rd. The area is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a cluster of local burial grounds that reflect the long-standing community history, including Friends Cem, Fairmount Cem, and Chapel Cem. The boundary between Preble Co and Butler Co bisects the terrain, separating the northern settlements from southern points like Collinsville and Jacksonburg. Water plays a central role in the topography, with Sevenmile Creek and Elk Cr cutting through the countryside alongside smaller features like Doughman Lake and Greenbriar Lake. The road network follows established paths such as Wayne Trace Rd and Oxford Middletown Rd, tracing the movement of residents between rural farmsteads and these central village hubs.
