1964 Map of Kelleytown

About this map

The South River meanders across this rural landscape, forming the natural border between Rockdale, Henry, and Newton counties. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely pastoral, characterized by family farms and significant religious landmarks such as the Monastery of the Holy Ghost and the historic Kelley Chapel near Kelleytown. The presence of numerous family burial grounds, including the Gleaton Cem, Albert Cem, and Bonner Cem, suggests a deeply rooted community structure with generations of local history tied to specific land tracts.
