About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this Christian County survey, stretching across the State Line into Tennessee. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads connecting small agricultural communities like Herndon and Bennettstown. Notable local landmarks include the South Christian Sch and several historical houses of worship such as McKenzie Ch and New Asia Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted social fabric of the rural Pennyroyal Plain.

Transport and water resources are clearly delineated, from the winding course of the Little River in the north to the Old Railroad Grade passing near Howel. Numerous family-named sites, including the Major Cem and Garrott Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing lineage in the area between Garrettsburg and the Kentucky-Tennessee border. The presence of springs and caves, such as Noahs Spring and a labeled Cave, highlights the karst topography typical of this region.
