About this map

The city of Providence anchors this 2016 survey, where the rolling hills of Webster County meet the winding course of the Tradewater River. This area is defined by a legacy of resource extraction and local industry, evidenced by features like the Oyama Mine and the extensive network of utility roads such as Fairmont Mine Rd. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Big Hill and Green Grove Hill, while the lowlands are drained by Craborchard Creek and Slover Cr.

For family historians, the map provides a high concentration of burial sites, including the Odd Fellows Cem, Blackwell Cem, and Frazer Cem. The transition from rail to road is visible through the L & N Railroad Bed, which once served the settlements of Clay, Wheatcroft, and Diamond. The landscape also features numerous smaller water bodies such as Providence City Lake and Fredricks Ditch, illustrating how the local geography has been shaped by both natural waterways and human engineering.
