About this map

Kelton and the surrounding Union County countryside are defined by a complex network of family cemeteries and rural crossroads that persist into the early 21st century. The landscape is carved by the Pacolet River to the north and numerous tributaries including Gault Cr and Little Browns Cr. Large bodies of water like Lake John D Long and Adams Lake dot the southern half of the sheet, while the northern border with Cherokee County is marked by Skull Shoals.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites such as Foster Woolbright Cem, Hames-Gault Cem, and McKissick Cem, which speak to the long-standing family settlements of this region. The infrastructure of the area transitions from established communities like Adamsburg and Kelly to landmarks of local utility, notably the Kelly Lookout Tower. The winding Pea Ridge Hwy and Jonesville Lockhart Hwy provide the primary transit through these Piedmont hills.
