About this map

Kelleytown serves as a central point for this part of DeKalb and Henry Counties, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the South River and its numerous tributaries. The area reflects a deep-rooted community history, evidenced by a high density of small family and church burial grounds such as Whitaker Cemetery, Bonner Cemetery, and the Hartfield and Everitt Cemetery. To the south and west, the terrain is shaped by the Big Cotton Indian Creek and Little Cotton Indian Creek watersheds.

Infrastructure and social gathering places are well-documented, from the Sims Bridge crossing to the Hour of Deliverance Camp Ground. The map highlights the water-management history of the region with several named impoundments and dams, including Monastery Lake, Dickson Lake, and Crumbley Lake. Notable for local researchers are the various named shoals and crossings like Peachtree Shoals and Oglesby Bridge, which trace the historical movement across this river-veined territory.
