2015 Map of Ellston

About this map

Sun Valley Lake serves as a modern focal point in this portion of Ringgold County, its shoreline subdivided by residential roads like Lakeview Dr and Indian Point Dr. The landscape retains its rural character through a grid of secondary routes and named tracks such as Mormon Trl and Stagecoach Rd, hinting at the historical transit corridors that shaped southern Iowa. Small settlements including Ellston and Beaconsfield anchor the townships of t70n r28w and t70n r27w. For those researching family heritage, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Pumptown Cem near the lake and Bear Cem to the south. Drainage is defined by the winding paths of Lotts Cr and W Elk Cr, which carve through the terrain toward the Decatur County border.
