2010 Map of Webbville

About this map

Webbville and the surrounding Lawrence County countryside are defined by a complex network of narrow hollows and ridge-top gaps. The drainage of the East Fork Little Sandy River dictates the settlement pattern, with small communities like Glenwood and Sandy Furnace situated near key watercourses. The landscape is deeply etched with family history, visible in the numerous small burial grounds such as Ratcliff Cemetery, Coburn Cemetery, and the James C Webb Cemetery. These sites are often found near named hollows like Hickory Log Hollow and Dead Man Hollow, which suggest long-standing local nomenclature. Transportation across this terrain relies on passages like Brammer Gap and Cherokee Gap. Industrial history is represented by the Sandy Furnace label and modern indicators like Strip Mine Rd, pointing to the region's historical and contemporary ties to mineral extraction and processing.
