2020 Map of Ellisville

About this map

Ellisville serves as a significant hub in Jones County, centered around the Jones County Courthouse and the sprawling campus of Jones County Junior College. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Tallahala Creek and its many tributaries, including Rocky Cr and Johnson Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain. A dense network of local roads like Buffalo Hill Rd and Tuckers Crossing Rd connects smaller communities such as Pecan Grove, Tawanta, and Oak Grove. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource, identifying numerous family-named burial sites including Bynum Cem, Anderson-Minter Cem, and Walters Cem. The distribution of these cemeteries and small settlements reflects a settlement pattern rooted in the various branches and creeks, such as Woodards Mill Cr and Gator Br, that historically shaped the region's movement and development.
