1959 Map of Ellaville

About this map

The confluence of the Withlacoochee River and the Suwannee River anchors this 1959 survey of the Florida borderlands, where Madison and Hamilton counties meet. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic complexity of the region, featuring numerous groundwater outlets such as Morgans Spring, Adams Spring, and Suwanacoochee Spring. This area is preserved in part by the Suwannee River State Park, which protects both the natural riverbanks and sites of deep local significance. Near the southern river junction, the settlement of Ellaville is visible alongside the historic Drew Mansion. Local heritage is further evidenced by a network of country churches and burial grounds, including St Pauls Ch, Corinth Ch, and the Old Columbus Cem, providing essential landmarks for genealogists and researchers tracking early families in this rural riverine corridor.
