2010 Map of Ellisburg

About this map

Peytons Store and Ellisburg anchor this rural landscape in the southern Knobs region, where the Big South Fork of the Rolling Fork river system carves through narrow valleys. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges and named peaks such as Chandler Knob, Rattlesnake Knob, and Turkeyfoot Knob. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating family-named cemeteries like Ellis Cemetery, Peyton Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery situated near old homesteads. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Coffman Branch and Hill Branch, with historic routes like Coffman Branch Rd and Martin Creek Rd connecting these isolated communities. This survey provides a clear view of the topographic challenges and the traditional agricultural and timber-linked settlement layout of the area before modern land-use changes.
