2013 Map of Providence

About this map

Providence serves as the primary hub in this early 21st-century survey of Webster County, anchored by a network of streets including L and N Railroad Bed, which speaks to the area's industrial history. To the northwest, the settlements of Clay, Wheatcroft, and West Wheatcroft are connected by a web of rural routes and coal-country roads like Fairmont Mine Rd and Five Mine Rd. The geography is defined by the winding Tradewater River and its tributaries, including Whiteside Cr and Craborchard Cr, while the high ground is marked by prominent elevations such as Clifty Hill and Nesbit Hill. Smaller communities like Diamond and Bellville appear near Providence City Lake, highlighting a pattern of settlement closely tied to the regional hydrology and mineral resources of the Western Kentucky Coal Field. Features like the Montezuma Bridge provide specific points of interest for those tracing historical transportation corridors across the river valley.
