About this map

Ellenton serves as the primary hub of this South Georgia landscape, situated at the junction of the Georgia Northern railroad and several regional roads. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Little River, which forms the boundary between Colquitt and Cook counties. A significant portion of the eastern map is dedicated to Reed Bingham State Park, featuring a large reservoir with multiple boat ramps, a Campground, and a Picnic Area.

Rural life is anchored by family names and faith, evidenced by numerous small cemeteries such as Baker Cem and Folsom Cem. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Warrior Creek, Mill Creek, and Buck Creek feeding into the Little River system. Significant local landmarks like Weeks Chapel and Evergreen Ch reflect the established community centers of the mid-1970s, while the presence of a Sandpit indicates local industry along the riverbanks.
