In this paper we give a non-computer-assisted proof of the following result: if $G$ is an even transitive group of degree $11$ and has a string C-group representation with rank $r\in\{ 4,5\}$ then $G\cong\PSL_2(11)$. Moreover this string C-group is the group of automorphisms of the rank $4$ polytope known as the $11$-cell. The insights gained from this case study include techniques and observations concerning permutation representation graphs of string C-groups. The foundational lemmas yield a natural and intuitive understanding of these groups. These and similar approaches can be replicated and are applicable to the study of other transitive groups.
