2018 Map of Ellaville

About this map

The Suwannee River and Withlacoochee River converge in the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the intersection of Madison, Hamilton, and Suwannee counties. The settlement of Ellaville sits at this significant river junction, once a site of major timber production. The map illustrates a region defined by its hydrogeology, featuring numerous groundwater discharge points such as Withlacoochee Spring, Morgans Spring, and the prominent Blue Springs. These natural features, along with the intermittent Dry Run, shaped the historical settlement patterns and transport routes of the area. Local history is preserved at the Old Columbus Cem and Dean Cem, which offer physical links to the early residents of this river-centered community. Small local airstrips, including Blue Springs Airport and DJ Farm Airport, indicate the modern character of the rural landscape alongside traditional agricultural and woodland areas.
