2024 Map of Kennedy

About this map

Kennedy serves as the central hub of this West Alabama landscape, situated near the headwaters of Luxapallila Creek. The area is characterized by a dense network of country roads, including Co Rd 49 and Co Rd 51, which connect numerous small family and community burial grounds. These sites, such as Moore Cem, Wilson Cem, and Oak Ridge Cem, provide a rich spatial record for genealogical research in this rural portion of Lamar and Fayette Counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Coal Fire Creek and Little Coal Fire Creek, which flow southward toward the Pickens County line. Distinctive community landmarks like New Wesley Chapel Cem and Ashcraft Corner illustrate the enduring social and religious geography of the region, where historical property lines and township boundaries still shape the local infrastructure.
