2017 Map of Elberton West

About this map

The Broad River and its South Fork Broad River define the southern landscape of this area, where Elbert, Madison, and Oglethorpe Counties meet. This portion of the Georgia Piedmont is characterized by a network of rural routes and watercourses, including Millstone Cr and Falling Cr. The small community of Oglesby sits along the western reach, while the outskirts of Elberton appear at the eastern edge. Local history is anchored by sites such as Antioch Cem and Dove Creek Cem, which reflect long-standing settlement patterns in the region. Infrastructure such as Mattox Bridge and the presence of Rome Kraft Lake indicate how land and water have been managed for local utility. The road system, featuring family and descriptive names like Doves Creek Church Rd and Antioch Church Rd, suggests a landscape organized around community landmarks and agricultural transit.
