About this map

The Pennyrile Parkway and Madisonville Road serve as the primary north-south corridors through this section of Christian County, where the transition from rural farmland to the northern outskirts of Hopkinsville is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by a series of significant reservoirs, including Lake Boxley, Lake Tandy, Morris Lake, and Buntin Lake, which are fed by the Middle Branch and Upper Branch drainages. These water bodies characterize the local topography alongside Mill Hill, providing a distinct contrast to the more developed southern portion of the quadrangle.

Institutional landmarks anchor the local community, from the University of Kentucky Community College and Hopkinsville High Sch in the south to the rural hamlets of Kelly and Dogwood. Local history is preserved through numerous rural houses of worship, such as Antioch Church, Pleasant Green Church, and Concord Church, while scattered Quarry sites and a Mine Dump indicate the region's industrial ties to the land.
