1980 Map of Ellistown

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Birmingham Ridge anchors the eastern side of this northern Mississippi landscape, overlooking a complex network of tributaries such as Tishomingo Creek and Mud Creek. The settlement of Ellistown sits at a historic crossroads near East Union Sch, while the St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts through the southwestern corner near Blue Springs. This 1980s-era survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community defined by its numerous family and community landmarks, including Jones Chapel and McNeil Chapel. The map documents a territory transitioning between the hilly terrain near Bart Hill and the broader bottomlands of Jug Fork. For genealogists, the density of smaller sites like Red Hill Cem and Birmingham Cem provides essential spatial context for local families. The inclusion of field and fence lines, noted as visible from aerial photography, offers a distinct look at the 20th-century agricultural footprint of Union Co and Lee Co.
