About this map

The northern reaches of Hopkinsville and the community of Kelly anchor this late 1960s study of the Christian County landscape. The area is defined by a series of engineered reservoirs including Lake Morris, Lake Tandy, and Lake Boxley, which disrupt the natural flow of Upper Branch and Lower Branch. Industrial activity is evident near the city limits, marked by a Quarry and a Mine Dump, while the higher ground to the north is dotted with several active Oil Wells.

Education and community infrastructure are prominent features, with the University of Kentucky Community College, County High Sch, and County Vocational Sch clustered near the southern border. The transportation corridor is dominated by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Pennyrile parkway, which cut through the hills. Rural life remains centered on local landmarks like Cleveland Spring Ch, Blooming Grove Ch, and the settlement of Dogwood.
