1953 Map of Webbville

About this map

Webbville serves as a focal point for this 1950s survey of Lawrence County, where the landscape is defined by the winding Little Fork and the Little Sandy River. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure typical of mid-century eastern Kentucky, featuring a high concentration of localized education and faith centers such as the Old Kentucky Home Sch, Brammer Gap Sch, and the Dry Fork Community Ch. The topography is a maze of drainage basins, with named hollows and branches like Coal Branch and Muddy Branch dictating the placement of early settlements and family cemeteries.
