1978 Map of Church Hill

About this map

Hopkinsville dominates the northeastern corner of this Christian County landscape, showing suburban expansion through neighborhoods like Millbrooke and Indian Hills. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through the northern terrain, following the course of Sinking Creek. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a network of small settlements and rural crossroads, including Merrittstown and the community of Church Hill. The rural character is defined by several localized houses of worship, such as Hebron Ch, South Union Ch, and Liberty Ch, which often served as the social anchors for these farming communities. Along the North Fork Little River and South Fork Little River, the terrain features landmarks like Cedar Bluff and the aptly named Striped Bridge, illustrating the local reliance on the river system for both topography and transit.
