  Elohim City -- Extremism in America
Elohim City is an Identity settlement of 70 to 90 residents located on 400 acres at the edge of a rugged and mountainous tract of land along the Oklahoma-Arkansas border in Adair County, Oklahoma.

Elohim City residents attended the group's 1982 "national convention" at the CSA compound, and Robert Millar preached several times at religious services held during the gathering; likewise, CSA activists James Ellison and Richard Wayne Snell visited Elohim City several times in the early 1980s.
