About this map

The town of Providence and the community of Nebo anchor this agricultural and rolling landscape on the border of Webster and Hopkins Counties. This area is characterized by an exceptionally high density of family burial grounds and small churchyards, reflecting a long-standing pattern of localized rural settlement. From the Lisman Family Cem near Lisman to the McCoy-Gardner Cem, these sites are scattered across the uplands between Slover Cr and Rose Creek.

Transportation infrastructure, including the Providence-Webster County Airport, serves the region alongside a network of rural routes such as the US 41A-Stanhope Rd. Landmarks like Balls Hill provide topographic relief above the winding paths of Whiteside Cr and Bull Cr. The numerous cemeteries, such as Tirzah Primitive Baptist Church Cem and Winstead Cemetery, offer significant points of interest for those tracing the lineage of families who established these western Kentucky communities.
