1906 Map of Sebree

About this map

Sebree and the surrounding Henderson and Webster County borderlands are defined by a network of small agricultural settlements and early rail corridors in the first decade of the twentieth century. The town of Sebree is a focal point near Sebree Springs, while the Louisville and Nashville R R passes through Robards to the north. In the western portion of the region, the Illinois Central R R connects Corydon and the community of Jones. Local community life is rooted in landmarks like the Oakland Schoolhouse and Cherry Hill Church. The landscape transitions from the drainage basins of Highland Creek and Canoe Creek to more prominent elevations such as Bald Knob and Beal Hill in the south, reflecting the varied topography of this coal-bearing Kentucky region.
