About this map

The northern reaches of Hopkinsville anchor this survey of Christian County, where the city’s residential expansion meets the rural landscape of western Kentucky. The map documents a transition from the urban grid near Riverside Cem and Metcalfe Ln to the agricultural terrain surrounding the smaller settlements of Kelly and Dogwood. A complex network of local roads like S Madisonville Rd and Mount Zoar Kelly Rd connects these communities, weaving through a hydrologically rich area defined by the several branches of the Little River and Pond River systems.

Water management and recreation are central to the geography, evidenced by substantial reservoirs including Lake Morris, Lake Tandy, and Lake Boxley. These water bodies are positioned along the Lower Br N Fork Little River and its tributaries, while smaller family and community burial sites like Boyd Cem and Haddock Cem are preserved in the upland areas, offering significant data points for local genealogists and historians tracking family landholdings in the region.
