2019 Map of Christie

About this map

The Baron Fork cuts through the center of this Adair County landscape, where small rural settlements like Christie and Addielee are defined by the winding hollows that separate them. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across these ridges, including the Ketcher Cem, Old Green Cem, and Whitmire Cem, many associated with families whose names also mark the terrain. The topography is dominated by significant elevations such as Spade Mtn and Walkingstick Mtn, with drainage provided by Peacheater Cr and Green Cr. The distribution of small communities like Whitmire, Sanders, and the curiously named Titanic reflects a settlement pattern closely tied to the natural corridors of England Hollow and Scraper Hollow, where local roads follow the path of least resistance through the hills.
