2011 Map of Kelton

About this map

The Pacolet River flows across the northern reach of this South Carolina landscape, defining a rural region deeply rooted in family history. Dozens of family-named burial grounds and churches are scattered throughout the countryside, including the Mount Joy Cemetery and Hames-Gault Cemetery, providing a dense record of the area's genealogical fabric. Small communities like Kelton, Kelly, and Adamsburg serve as local hubs connected by a network of winding roads such as the Pea Ridge Hwy. The terrain is marked by notable features like Bald Rock and several modern water management structures, including the Adams Lake Dam, which highlights the mid-century development of the local watershed. At Kelly Lookout Tower, the map captures a high point overlooking a landscape of creek systems like Peter Hawk Creek and Big Browns Creek that drain into the Pacolet.
