2015 Map of Ellistown

About this map

Ellistown and its surrounding rural communities are situated along the boundary between Union and Lee Counties. This 2015 edition highlights a landscape defined by its creek valleys and cemetery locations, documenting long-standing family and community sites such as Thompson Cem, Damascus Cem, and the New Hope Cem near the upper reaches of Bridge Cr. The topography reveals the intricate drainage of the region, where Saumill Cr and Camp Cr feed into a network of small streams that historically shaped local movement and settlement patterns. To the south, Birmingham and Blue Springs provide anchor points for the township, while smaller locales like Jug Fork and Branyan appear at rural intersections. These labels offer a detailed view of the North Mississippi backcountry, preserving the names of local landmarks like Bart Hill and the winding Boggan Bend along the eastern edge of the survey.
