2017 Map of Kelso

About this map

Rohwer Relocation Center Cem stands as a significant landmark in this section of the Arkansas Delta, marking a site of deep historical reflection. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Wells Bayou and Amos Bayou, which snake through a grid of agricultural drainage and rural roads. Small settlements like Kelso and Duce are connected by a network of local routes including State Hwy 138 and State Hwy 277. The presence of multiple cemeteries, such as Kelso Cem and Rolling Water Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogists studying the families who settled this fertile river country. The transition from natural bayous to engineered waterways like Canal Number 81 illustrates the mid-century transformation of the local terrain for large-scale cultivation.
