2017 Map of Kelleytown

About this map

Kelleytown serves as a central point in this transition from suburban development to the waterways and shoals of the Georgia Piedmont. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, notably where the South River and Big Cotton Indian Creek wind through the terrain. Evidence of the area's agricultural and communal past is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Kelley Chapel Cem and the Hartfield and Everitt Cem. Early transportation networks are visible through landmarks like Sims Bridge and Oglesby Bridge, which cross the many creeks and branches. Notable water features like Monastery Lake and Peachstone Shoals on the South River highlight the region's diverse topographical character where DeKalb, Rockdale, Henry, and Newton counties meet.
