1962 Map of Kellyville

About this map

Kellyville and the neighboring community of Berea center this 1962 landscape in Marion County, where the Louisiana and Arkansas and Kansas City Southern railroads converge. The terrain is defined by the expansive waters of Lake O' The Pines and the winding course of Black Cypress Bayou to the north. Local civic life is anchored by institutions like the Jefferson Rural Academy and Morning Star Church, while the presence of a Drill Hole and Oil Well indicates the active extraction industry of the era. The mapping of the East Abutment Recreational Area and several spillways highlights the post-war development of water management and public leisure infrastructure. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of family-named landmarks such as Beamer-Davis Cem and the small settlement of Sarber along the western rail line.
