2019 Map of Sebree

About this map

Sebree and its surrounding countryside in Webster County appear as a landscape of agricultural valleys and family-named landmarks. The town itself is anchored by the CSX Transportation railroad, which runs parallel to Deer Creek through a corridor of low-lying wetlands. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Brooks Family Cem, Williams Family Cem, and Caldwell Watson Cem, reflecting generations of local family landholdings. To the west, the crossroads of Gatesville and Ortiz mark small hubs of activity near the Mount Lebanon General Baptist Church. The topography is defined by distinctive rises such as Steamboat Hill and Bald Knob that overlook a complex network of drainage ditches like Jackson Ditch and Bailey Ditch, which were engineered to manage the fertile bottomlands between the small settlements of Breton and Pratt.
