About this map

Sebree stands as the primary hub of this Webster County landscape, where the local street grid is defined by its relationship to S Railroad St and the modern Pennyrile Pkwy. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent rises including Steamboat Hill, Bald Knob, and Beal Hill, which overlook a complex drainage network that includes the Deer Creek and Knoblick Cr.

Evidence of long-standing community settlement is found in the outlying hamlets of Pratt, Breton, Ortiz, and Gatesville. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites such as Springdale Cem, Ashley Cem, and Akins Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy reliant on these small centers and the extensive network of country roads, such as Watkins School Rd and Sebree Slaughters Rd, that connect isolated farmsteads across the bottomlands and ridges.
