About this map

Kennedy serves as the primary hub in this west Alabama landscape, where the town’s street grid transitions into a network of winding county roads. The terrain is defined by the significant drainage basins of Luxapalila Creek and Coal Fire Cr, which create a complex series of ridges and hollows across the Lamar, Fayette, and Pickens county lines. This 2020 dataset provides a contemporary view of the region's rural character, emphasizing a high density of family and community burial grounds that reflect generations of local settlement.

Genealogists and local historians will find an extensive record of these sites, including Higdon Memorial Cem, New Wesley Chapel Cem, and Ashcraft Corner Cem. Smaller, more isolated locations like Dorroh Cem and Brown Cem are also clearly marked. The distribution of these landmarks alongside features like Watertank Hill Rd and Old Newtonville Rd highlights the enduring rural infrastructure of the Alabama hill country.
