About this map

The Tradewater River winds along the western edge of this Webster County landscape, defining the topography near Bald Hill. The region is heavily shaped by its coal mining history, with numerous operations like the Fairmont Mines, Johnson Mines, and Diamond Mines marking the terrain between the settlements of Clay and Providence. These sites, along with isolated labels such as Shaft Number 7 and Mine Number 10, point to an extensive underground industrial network.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Blackwell Cemetery, Donis Cemetery, and the Odd Fellows Cemetery. Infrastructure such as the Montezuma Bridge and the grid of Providence reflect the established community centers of the early 21st century. The map also traces smaller watercourses like Craborchard Creek and Whiteside Creek as they drain the elevations of Clifty Hill and Nesbit Hill.
