The name “Elam Bend” is a descriptive place name that describes a sharp bend in the Grand River that occurs here. The river has changed its course in this area several times including a major shift as a result of the flooding in 1993. This area is also listed in the book Geologic Wonders and Curiosities of Missouri as a “shut-in” where the river valley narrows considerably with bluffs very near the river.
Note: No pot of gold was found at this event.
