About this map

The eastern edges of Elberton serve as the focal point of this map, revealing the transition from town neighborhoods to the agricultural and forested landscape of Elbert County. The industrial heritage of the area is represented by Silk Mills, while the regional infrastructure is anchored by the Elbert County Airport-Patz Field. Notable for genealogists, several burial sites are scattered across the terrain, including Elmwood Cemetery and Falling Creek Cemetery, providing important markers for local family history research.

Waterways like Beaverdam Creek and Wahachee Creek define the drainage of the region, interspersed with smaller settlements such as Middleton, Cauthen, and Fortsonia. The map details a network of rural roads, such as Petersburg Rd and Old Middleton Rd, which connect these outlying communities. The presence of Oglesby North Lake and the Oglesby North Lake Dam highlights local water management and recreation within the Piedmont landscape.
