2022 Map of Littleport

About this map

Littleport and the Volga River valley anchor this Clayton County survey, showing a landscape defined by the winding paths of the Turkey River and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals a dense network of country cemeteries, such as Blanchaine Cem and Eberhard Cem, which dot the uplands and hollows, often far from the primary settlements. The small communities of Communia and Motor are preserved here alongside topographical features like Pine Hollow and Beddows Hollow. These labels suggest a pattern of early German settlement and agricultural development that utilized the protected lowlands for homesteading while maintaining small burial grounds on family plots or parish lands. Modern infrastructure, including the Pony Hollow Trl and a grid of rural routes like Hazel Rd and Granite Ave, illustrates how contemporary access has overlaid the 19th-century river-and-rail economy.
