2024 Map of Kelso

About this map

Rohwer Relocation Center Memorial Cem stands as a somber landmark within this Delta landscape, marking a site of significant mid-century history near the settlement of Rohwer. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Amos Bayou and the expansive wetlands of the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge, which dominates the western portion of the quadrangle. Agricultural drainage is evident through features like Canal Number 81, supporting the rural economy that connects the small communities of Kelso and Duce. The presence of several family or community burial sites, including Rolling Water Cem, Kelso Cem, and Oak Grove Cem, provides vital points of interest for those tracing local family lineages. Modern preservation and recreation efforts are visible in the Delta Heritage Trl, which follows the old rail corridors through the flat bottomlands.
