1971 Map of Kellyton

About this map

Kellyton serves as the central hub of this northern Coosa County landscape, situated along the Central of Georgia railroad line. The map reveals a rural economy defined by small communities like Bradford, Keyno, and Ray, connected by a network of creeks including Socapatoy Creek and Elkahatchee Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and church burial grounds, such as Chapman Cem, Maxwell Cem, and the Jordan Cem near the shores of Jordan Lake. The presence of several country churches, including Shiloh Ch and Bradford Ch, alongside infrastructure like a pipeline and a local substation, highlights the gradual modernization of these Alabamian woodlands during the early 1970s and 1980s.
