1951 Map of Church Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Little River and its multiple forks carve through the agricultural heart of Christian County, defining the landscape south of Hopkinsville. This 1951 survey reveals a rural community anchored by local institutions like the Mcclain Chapel, South Union Ch, and the White Oak Grove Sch. Small, named clusters such as Merrittstown and Church Hill punctuate the rolling terrain, connected by the Illinois Central railroad and the Davis Highway. Notable river crossings, including the Huffman Mill Bridge and Striped Bridge, indicate the importance of the waterway to local transit. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of the mid-century South, capturing the precise locations of rural schools like Gee Sch and several country churches that served as the social centers for outlying farming families.
