Kennedy serves as the central hub of this 2018 survey, positioned where the borders of Lamar, Fayette, and Pickens counties converge. The town's grid is defined by streets like Hill St and Porter St, surrounded by a landscape carved by a dense network of waterways including Luxapallila Creek and Coal Fire Creek. For those tracing local families, the map provides precise locations for over a dozen burial grounds, ranging from the central Kennedy Cemetery to more remote sites like Higdon Memorial Cemetery and New Wesley Chapel Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by winding rural routes such as County Road 49 and Mt Carmel Road, which connect disparate homesteads and family landmarks across the tripartite county line, illustrating the enduring rural settlement patterns of this West Alabama region.
