About this map

Herndon and LaFayette anchor this rural landscape in Christian County near the Kentucky-Tennessee border, where the terrain is marked by sinkholes and the winding waters of the Little River. This 2019 survey captures the area's agricultural character, defined by family-named landmarks like McKnight Cem and Major Cem. The landscape transitions from quiet farming communities to high-activity military infrastructure in the south.

The southern reaches are dominated by the Fort Campbell Military Res, featuring the Campbell Army Airfield (Fort Campbell) and a network of restricted access roads such as Perimeter Rd and Nightstalker Way. This juxtaposition of historic rural settlements like Bennettstown and Garrettsburg against a major 21st-century military installation provides a clear look at how national defense needs have shaped local geography and land use in the Modern Era.
