2013 Map of Ellinger

About this map

The Colorado River meanders across this corner of Fayette County, defining a landscape of deep oxbows and fertile bottomlands near Horseshoe Bend. The settlement of Ellinger serves as a central hub, where a dense grid of local roads like Munn St and FM 2503 connect the town to outlying rural communities. Significant genealogy and land-use markers are found throughout the area, including Shaws Bend Cem, Boetcher Cem, and Adkins Cem, which preserve the names of early resident families. Historical infrastructure remains visible through labels like Burnham S Ferry Xing, a nod to the era of river crossings before modern bridges. Smaller communities such as Live Oak Hill and Rocky Hill, the latter featuring the Rocky Hill School, indicate the localized pattern of education and social life in this Texas river valley during the early 21st century.
