For perhaps at least 5 years, I have sought a map of the City of Ellaville 
that indicated the original lot numbers for the core of the city, to no 
avail.  Linda Adams located this sketch made by Dr. Chesterfield Harrell Smith 
who began his practice in Pond Town a short time after his graduation from 
medical school in Savannah in 1855.  According to the "History of Schley 
County, Dr. Smith and C.B. Strange were commissioned to draw a map of the town 
to be known as Ellaville and lay it off.  Ellaville was incorporated on Nov. 
23, 1859.

The sketch presented here is not Dr. Smith's sketch from that era, but one he 
did in 1902.  Numerous attempts to photograph it by some pretty accomplished 
photographers were unsuccessful as the map is under plexiglass and reflects 
flashes.  

What is presented here is another sketch copied by yours truly and I hope that 
I have accurately represnted what I saw while visiting Ellaville in early 
November of 2008.

I hope it will be of some help to those that research land deeds for numbered 
lots in the City of Ellaville.
