2024 Map of Bowman

About this map

The Broad River serves as the prominent physical and historical dividing line between Elbert and Madison counties, a landscape defined by the remnants of old river crossings and rural settlements. Modern transit through Bowman and Vanna follows historical corridors, yet the map preserves the locations of several traditional river access points such as Moore Ferry, Charles Moons Ferry, Wilson Ferry, and Peytons Ferry. These sites indicate the essential role the river once played in connecting these rural farming communities.
