About this map

The town of Kenna sits within a complex network of ridges and hollows in Jackson County, where Interstate 77 now cuts a modern path through the landscape. This 2019 survey illustrates how contemporary infrastructure aligns with long-established rural settlements like Given, Fairplain, and Statts Mills. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Bibbee Ridge, Southall Ridge, and Garnes Knob, which dictate the drainage patterns of local waterways like Parchment Cr and Grasslick Run.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the topography. From the Casto-Crane Cem near the northern boundary to the Boggess-Shamblen Cem further south, these sites anchor the history of early residents to specific geographic points. The presence of the F.F. Morris Memorial Bridge and the Warren Chapel Cem further emphasizes the enduring community ties within these valleys, even as the Jackson Co and Putnam Co line marks the southwestern edge of the quadrangle.
