2024 Map of Kendrick

About this map

Shiloh National Battlefield spans the northern landscape of this Alcorn County quadrangle, where the terrain is marked by the significant Tennessee Valley Divide. This height of land separates the headwaters of numerous creeks including Sevenmile Creek and Clear Creek as they wind through the hills of Mississippi and Tennessee. The settlement pattern reflects deep-rooted community history, with the town of Farmington and smaller nodes like Kendrick and Strickland serving as anchors. For genealogists and local historians, the abundance of small family and community burial grounds is striking, including the Wiley Grove Church Cem African American and the Alcorn County Home Cem. The map reveals a rural landscape where life is tied to the creek hollows, such as Lewis Hollow and Sorghum Hollow, and the numerous small impoundments like Hillandale Lake and Waukomis Lake that dot the countryside.
