2019 Map of Webbville

About this map

The E Fork Little Sandy River flows through this corner of the Cumberland Plateau where the borders of Carter, Lawrence, and Boyd counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Sawmill Hollow and Red Mud Ridge, which dictated the early settlement patterns of the region. Small communities like Webbville and Glenwood serve as hubs for the surrounding family-named landmarks. The map documents numerous burial grounds essential for genealogical research, including the Webbville Cem, Coburn Cem, and Taylor Cem. Infrastructure from the area's industrial past and present is evident in the proximity of Sandy Furnace and the presence of Strip Mine Rd, highlighting the intersection of traditional Appalachian agriculture and natural resource extraction in eastern Kentucky.
