About this map

The Broad River flows through this northeastern Georgia landscape, marking the natural boundary between Madison and Elbert counties. The town of Bowman serves as a central hub, where residential streets meet a network of rural roads that stretch toward outlying communities like Vanna and Harrison. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several community landmarks, including Fellowship Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Rehoboth Cem, which trace the settlement patterns of these agricultural lands.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, with Mill Shoal Cr, Butler Cr, and Beaverdam Cr carving through the countryside. Near the confluence of these waterways, the New Lattice Bridge spans the Broad River, connecting the disparate rural tracts. Smaller named locales such as Match appear in the southeast, while the extensive road network, including Vanna Rd and Old Elbert Rd, illustrates the longstanding connections between the farmsteads and the established town centers of the early twenty-first century.
