2019 Map of Webb

About this map

The Tug Fork river defines the winding western border of this region, separating Wayne County, West Virginia, from Lawrence and Martin counties in Kentucky. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of narrow hollows and ridges, such as Millhouse Hollow and Tick Ridge, where small communities like Webb, Crum, and Tripp are situated along the valley floors. Transport is primarily dictated by the river and the path of Us Rte 52, which links the dispersed settlements of Hode and Breezy Gap. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family burial grounds throughout these hills, including Chaffin Cem, Sammons Cem, and Marcum Cem. The map illustrates the persistent pattern of ridge-and-valley habitation where local life follows the drainages of Jennie Cr and Bull Cr.
