2024 Map of Ellenton

About this map

The town of Ellenton serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, where the meandering course of the Little River defines the border between Colquitt and Cook counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of blackwater creeks and drainage basins, including Warrior Creek, Buck Creek, and Bull Creek, which feed into local landmarks like Reed Bingham Park Lake. Small rural communities such as Cool Springs remain tied to a grid of county roads that bear the names of longstanding local families, such as John Vickers Rd and Lester Norman Rd. For genealogists, the presence of family-linked burial sites like Vickers Cem, Baker Cem, and Folsom Cem provides critical points for tracing ancestral connections. The map also highlights the agricultural and transport history of the region through features like the Flat Ford and the path of Lonestar School Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by its river systems and early settlement patterns.
