About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1978 edition, stretching across the Kentucky Tennessee state line. This transition zone between Christian and Montgomery counties shows a region shaped by both agricultural heritage and modern military infrastructure. Small rural hubs like Herndon and Garrettsburg remain anchored by local landmarks such as South Christian School and several country churches, including Zion Hope Ch and Flat Lick Ch.

Evidence of the area's older transport network is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running through Howel, while newer developments are seen in the Campbell Army Air Field. The terrain is characterized by karst features like Noahs Spring and a local Cave, with the Little River winding across the northern section. For genealogists, family-named sites like Double Barn Cem and Garrott Cem offer valuable points for tracing local family roots during this era of late 20th-century change.
