About this map

Elberton and the surrounding rural communities of Ethridge, Dove Creek, and Oglesby anchor this landscape along the western edge of Elbert County. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the Broad River and the South Fork Broad River, where county lines meet at the water’s edge. This modern topographical record shows the winding courses of numerous tributaries, including Little Dove Cr, Falling Cr, and Millstone Cr, which have long shaped the local topography and settlement patterns.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Antioch Cem and Dove Creek Cem. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the region's movement, from the Mattox Bridge crossing in the southeast to the network of family-named roads like Deadwyler Dr and Grady Cleveland Rd. Reservoirs such as Rome Kraft Lake and Coggins Lake punctuate the drainage basins, illustrating the managed water resources of the modern era.
