About this map

The high plains of eastern Elbert County unfold across this 2013 survey, defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and straight-line section roads. The landscape is dominated by drainage patterns including Big Sandy Cr in the northwest and the branching reaches of Long Br and Long Cr to the south. These intermittent streams cut through the terrain, creating features like Horseshoe Draw and influencing the placement of early infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of early settlement at Dunkers Cem and Pleasant Plains Cem, which serve as quiet anchors in this agricultural region. Transportation is anchored by the diagonal path of Us-24 E, cutting across the township and range lines that otherwise organize the territory. The map details a transition in the local road network, from the established highway to rural connectors like Resolis Rd and numerous numbered county roads that follow the Public Land Survey System grid.
