1951 Map of Herndon

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1951 survey, straddling the Kentucky Tennessee state line. This era reflects the early Cold War expansion of the facility, including the Campbell Air Force Base footprint. To the north, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and rural community life of Christian County, characterized by a dense network of country schools and houses of worship. Small settlements such as Herndon and Garrettsburg serve as local hubs, connected by established routes like Palmyra Road and Lafayette Road. The meandering course of the Little River and Donaldson Creek define the drainage of this sinkhole-dotted limestone plateau. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community landmarks, including Major Cem, Double Barn Cem, and the Kirk Church.
