2016 Map of Webbville

About this map

Webbville and the surrounding tri-county borderlands of Carter, Lawrence, and Boyd counties define this landscape of deeply carved hollows and prominent ridges. The map reveals a settlement pattern tied to the winding watercourses, with communities like Glenwood and Jeriel situated near the headwaters of the Little Sandy River. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and resting places, ranging from the James C Webb Cem and Webbville Cem to the Crabtree Cem and Howell Cem. High points such as Hinton Knob, Bishop Knob, and Red Mud Ridge provide a topographical frame for the complex network of local branches and forks, including Bells Trace Cr and Little Cat Fork. Evidence of the region's industrial and agricultural history is seen in names like Sandy Furnace and Sawmill Hollow, while unique local nomenclature like Dead Man Hollow adds distinctive character to the geographic record.
