2020 Map of Ellijay

About this map

The Coosawattee River forms at the convergence of the Ellijay River and the Cartecay River in the heart of Ellijay. This 2020 survey documents the modern layout of the Gilmer County Courthouse and surrounding civic landmarks, including the Library and the historic Charles Soule Bridge. The landscape transitions from the urban core of East Ellijay into the protected elevations of the Chattahoochee National Forest to the east. Several local cemeteries and rural congregations, such as Turniptown Baptist Church Cem and Oak Hill United Methodist Church Cem, provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in these North Georgia communities. The network of local ridges, including Kells Ridge and Leading Ridge, dictates the winding paths of roads like Boardtown Rd and Tails Creek Rd, illustrating the persistent influence of the Appalachian terrain on regional development.
