About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the eastern portion of this landscape along the state line where Trigg County, Kentucky, meets Stewart County, Tennessee. This mid-century survey illustrates a deeply rural interior characterized by a dense network of country churches and family cemeteries. Significant community hubs like Old Dry Creek Ch and Delmont Sch are connected by winding roads that follow the ridges above Johnson Hollow and the valley of Donaldson Cr.

The presence of numerous burial grounds, including the McKinney Cem, Lancaster Cem, and Sams Cem, provides a detailed record of the families settled here before the expansion of military lands. Navigation across the hilly terrain is marked by a Lookout Tower and various drainage features such as Skinner Creek and Shelby Creek, while the southern border is defined by the winding course of Saline Creek near a small Airstrip.
