About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the eastern half of this landscape along the state line in the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by deep drainages like Johnson Hollow and Cheatam Hollow, where small family-named cemeteries and rural schools reflect a pattern of upland settlement that was being reshaped by the military presence. Local life centers on remote outposts like Delmont Sch and numerous country churches, including Rock Front Ch and Union Hill Ch.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, such as Lancaster Cem, Atkins Cem, and McKinney Cem, scattered among the ridges. The survey captures the road network and land use just as the area was being fully integrated into the base infrastructure, preserving the names of landmarks like the Fire Tower and Crossroads Sch before further modernization changed the rural character of Trigg and Stewart counties.
