2014 Map of Lakenan

About this map

Lakenan and Kendall sit within a landscape defined by the winding course of the North Fork Salt River and its many tributaries, including Black Cr and Jackson Cr. This northeastern Missouri terrain is marked by a grid of rural roads like Shelby 472 and Monroe Road 390, crossing the county line between Shelby and Monroe counties. The presence of the BNSF Railway following the river valley highlights the importance of the rail corridor through the region. Significant local landmarks such as The Mound and several small bodies of water like Hunnewell Lake and Paradise Lake break the agricultural pattern. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies the Saint Johns Cemetery and Hunnewell Cemetery, providing specific points of reference for genealogical research near these small communities and the Salt River Railroad Bridge.
