About this map

Sebree serves as the primary hub of activity on this mid-century survey, positioned along the vital Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor. The landscape is a complex arrangement of bottomlands and hills, defined by the winding course of Deer Creek and its tributaries, including East Fork Deer Creek and Mock Roy Creek. Smaller outlying settlements like Petersburg, Pratt, and Breton are scattered across the terrain, reflecting a rural society built on a mix of agriculture and local industry, evidenced by the Oil Field located north of Pratt.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family and community landmarks. The map documents numerous spiritual and memorial sites, including Mt Lebanon Ch, Roach Ch, and cemeteries such as Akins Cem, Adkinson Cem, and Hunter Cem. Prominent local relief is marked by Bald Knob and Steamboat Hill, providing a clear view of the physical geography that shaped the settlement patterns of Webster County during this era.
