About this map

Family-named cemeteries and small crossroads settlements dot the landscape of Christian County in this 1970s record of rural Kentucky. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Pond River and its various forks, including the West Fork Pond River and Buck Fork. A heavy concentration of Oil Wells is visible across the northern half of the quadrangle, particularly near the Muhlenberg County line, suggesting a period of active resource extraction.

Significant local landmarks include the eponymous Haleys Mill and nearby Wildcat Hollow, alongside small community hubs like Fruit Hill and Bluff Spring. For those tracing family histories, numerous small burial sites such as Atkinson Cem, McKinney Cem, and Prowse Cem are clearly marked. The presence of multiple flood control structures like Dam No 6 and Dam No 7B indicates a managed waterway system intended to stabilize the drainage of this river valley.
