2011 Map of Ellenton

About this map

Ellenton and Cool Springs anchor this south Georgia landscape, where the Little River and its many tributaries, such as Warrior Creek and Bull Creek, dictate the geography. The map reveals a high density of family-named roads and landmarks, highlighting the area's ancestral ties through sites like Vickers Cemetery, Baker Cemetery, and Folsom Cemetery. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the waters of Reed Bingham Park Lake, formed by the Reed Bingham Park Lake Dam. This 2011 survey captures the transition of the rural economy, where traditional creek-side crossings like Flat Ford and Whitehurst Bridge coexist with modern developments. The presence of several managed water bodies, including Pervis Lake, Grist Lake, and Saunders Lake, suggests a landscape heavily modified for recreation and agricultural water management, while Burney Hill provides a rare point of elevation in the otherwise low-lying drainage basins of Buck Creek and Mill Creek.
