About this map

Ellenton serves as the primary hub of this South Georgia landscape, situated where the Little River meanders along the Colquitt Co Cook Co boundary. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies and marshy drainage, including the expansive Reed Bingham Park Lake and numerous family-named landmarks like Vickers Lake and Pervis Lake. A rural agricultural character prevails, marked by several small family burial grounds including Baker Cem, Folsom Cem, and Vickers Cem.

Strategic crossing points like Whitehurst Bridge and Roundtree Bridge provide essential connectivity over the river and its tributaries, such as Warrior Cr, Buck Cr, and Bull Cr. Elevations vary subtly across the terrain, rising to the distinct Burney Hill and descending to natural crossings such as Flat Ford. The intricate drainage system is further detailed by numerous named branches, including Big Br, Poplar Head Br, and Flat Br, illustrating the importance of local hydrology to the settlement patterns near Cool Springs.
