About this map

Elizabeth serves as the primary hub of activity in this 2010 survey of Elbert County, situated along the upper reaches of Running Creek. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and ranching heritage, evidenced by numerous private airfields like the Circle 8 Ranch Airport and Dead Stick Ranch Airport, as well as named tracts such as McCart Ranch Road. Water management is a central theme of the terrain, with a network of flood control measures including the Richard Warne Flood Retention Reservoir and several numbered watershed reservoirs along Kiowa Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Elizabeth Cemetery northwest of town and the Kiowa Old Cemetery to the east. The road network, including County Highway 17 and County Road 13, connects the central settlement to outlying residential clusters like Cimarron. The map illustrates a modern rural-residential transition, where traditional ranching lands meet newer developments such as those found along Willownook Ranch Trail.
