2010 Map of Fondis

About this map

Fondis sits at the junction of several county roads in Elbert County, serving as the central point of this rural High Plains landscape. The drainage network of the area is defined by the diverging paths of West Bijou Creek and East Bijou Creek, which are fed by numerous smaller tributaries like Spring Branch and Antelope Creek. This topography is shaped by a series of small-scale water management projects, including several family-named landmarks such as the Ramsey Dam, George Mason Dam, and Trojanovich Dam. The large Saran Erosion Control and Recreation Dam Number 1 indicates the historical importance of soil conservation in this agricultural region. To the northeast, the terrain rises toward Eagle Rock, one of the few prominent geological landmarks in an area otherwise dominated by open rangeland and a systematic grid of county roads.
