2020 Map of Elba

About this map

Pea River and Whitewater Creek converge at the heart of Elba, a community defined by its relationship with these winding waterways. This contemporary survey reveals a landscape of agricultural tradition and modern infrastructure, where the J B Simmons Bridge spans the river near the center of town. The area is dotted with several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Wise Mill Cem to the north and Grimes-Holland Cem to the southwest, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists. Aviation activity is centered at the Carl Folsom Airport, while recreational spots like Elba Country Club Lake and Lake Lorene break up the wooded terrain. Numerous creeks, including Beaverdam Creek and Hurricane Cr, carve out the topography of Coffee County, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced local settlement and road placement for generations.
