About this map

Kennedy stands as the primary hub in this rural Lamar County landscape, situated where the Kennedy Post Office serves the local community near the upper reaches of Luxapallila Creek. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Coal Fire Creek and its tributary Little Coal Fire Creek, which carve through the terrain south of the main settlement. This area is particularly significant for genealogical research, as it contains an unusually high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Moore Cemetery, Wilson Cemetery, and the Ashcraft Corner Cemetery.

Industry and infrastructure appear in the southern portion of the quadrangle with the Lubbub Creek Gas Field, reflecting the region's natural resource extraction. Outside the village of Kennedy, the settlement of Ashcraft Corner serves as a secondary focal point. The land is crisscrossed by numerous local routes like Co Hwy 51 and Old Newtonville Rd, connecting the various farmsteads and churches that form the backbone of this West Alabama territory.
