2017 Map of Lakenan

About this map

Lakenan and Kendall sit at the center of this rural landscape, where the North Fork Salt River and its numerous tributaries like Black Cr and Thomas Cr carve through the Missouri countryside. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by water and rail, with the Salt River Railroad Bridge carrying traffic across the river just east of Lakenan. The topography is anchored by The Mound, a prominent rise north of the river, and several large water bodies including Hunnewell Lake and Paradise Lake. Genealogists and local historians can locate several important sites, including the Hunnewell Cem and Saint Johns Cem, as well as the historic crossing at Kincheloe Bridge. The border between Shelby Co and Monroe Co runs through the southern portion of the map, illustrating how these administrative lines follow the drainage patterns of Brush Cr and Jackson Cr.
