About this map

The town of Kennedy serves as a focal point in this West Alabama landscape, situated near the intersection of Lamar, Fayette, and Pickens counties. This terrain is defined by the winding paths of Luxapallila Creek and Coal Fire Creek, which carve through the timbered hills of the region. The map documents a dense network of local institutions, with numerous country churches like Rock Curve Ch and Wesley Chapel providing social anchors for the surrounding rural communities.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and the presence of the Southern railway line, which historically linked these remote settlements to larger markets. For genealogists, the survey is particularly useful for locating family burial grounds and small community landmarks, including Wilson Cem, Thompson Cem, and Riverside Ch. The topography reveals a landscape transitioning from the creek bottoms to the more elevated ridges where Oak Ridge Ch is situated.
