About this map

Kellyville and its surrounding Marion County bottomlands are defined by the winding course of Black Cypress Bayou and the expanding reach of Lake O' The Pines. This early 1960s landscape shows a transition between traditional rural life and modern infrastructure, where established sites like the Jefferson Rural Academy and Morning Star Church stand alongside newer industrial markings such as an Oil Well and a prominent Radio Tower.

Rail transport remains a central feature of the local economy, with the Louisiana and Arkansas and Kansas City Southern lines intersecting near Kellyville Siding. Genealogical landmarks are well-preserved across the sheet, including the Valley Plains Cem and the Beamer-Davis Cem, which offer significant research value for those tracing family ties in the timber and creek lands north of Big Cypress Bayou.
