2020 Map of Ila

About this map

The S Fork Broad River winds through the heart of Madison County, framing a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and family homesteads. The town of Ila serves as a central hub, where Commerce St meets Main St, while outlying communities like Pocataligo, Hix, and Fort Lamar maintain their distinct identities along the ridges and creek valleys. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Hix Cem, Culbertson Cem, and the Smith - Rogers Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting generations of local ancestry. The mapping of the Hudson River and Masons Mill Cr illustrates the importance of these waterways in shaping the local geography. From the northern border with Banks and Franklin Counties to the reservoirs and lakes like Evans Lake and Minishs Lake, this 2020 survey documents the enduring rural character and road network of this Northeast Georgia region.
