1956 Map of Church Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Christian County is captured here in the mid-1950s, defined by the winding course of the Little River and its numerous tributaries. Small rural communities like Church Hill and Merrittstown dot the countryside, while the northwestern outskirts of Hopkinsville appear in the northeast corner, featuring the Radio Tower (WKOA) and the local sewage disposal plant. The area is heavily marked by local social centers, including numerous country churches such as South Union Ch and McClain Chapel. Transportation and topography are closely linked, with the Illinois Central railroad and the Jefferson Davis Highway cutting through the terrain. A notable geographic feature is the presence of sinkholes and ponds, including Buck Pond and Swallow Spring Pond, which suggest the underlying karst geology characteristic of this part of Kentucky.
