About this map

Monastery of the Holy Ghost sits at the heart of this landscape, reflecting the spiritual and community anchors of the region during the mid-1960s. The area is defined by the winding course of the South River, which flows past landmarks like Peachstone Shoals and various family-named features. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through legacy sites such as Tucker Mill and Camp Smyrna.

The settlement of Kelleytown and nearby Oak Hill serve as local hubs, while numerous cemeteries like Gleaton Cem and Whitaker Cem provide essential data for genealogists tracing families in Rockdale, Henry, and Newton Counties. The road network, including Oglesby Bridge Road and Walker Road, connects these small communities and rural churches like Kelley Chapel, illustrating the historical connectivity of the Georgia Piedmont before modern suburban expansion.
