Elm Point was a small place that used to be a settlement, or a small town, in Bond County, Illinois, in the United States. Today, it is considered a "former settlement" because it no longer exists as a populated place.

Where Was Elm Point Located?

Elm Point was situated south of a town called Donnellson. The exact spot where Elm Point once stood is now along Illinois State Route 127. This road also marks the boundary between two areas called Lagrange Township (to the east) and Shoal Creek Township (to the west).

When Did Elm Point Exist?

Elm Point appeared on maps for some time, but it was last shown on maps around the year 1876. After this date, it seems the settlement faded away. Many small settlements like Elm Point were formed when people moved to new areas, but some did not grow and eventually disappeared.
