2024 Map of Horatio

About this map

Horatio stands as the primary hub in this corner of Sevier Co, where a network of rural roads like Plantation Rd and Strawberry Hill Rd connects outlying communities such as Walnut Springs and Neal Springs. The landscape is defined by the significant southern expanse of the Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain transitions into the wetlands surrounding Berks Slough and the winding course of the Little River. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites, including the Horatio Cem, Mount Ida Cem, and the more remote Boggy Springs Cem. The hydrography of the region is well-detailed, showing numerous tributaries like Cool Easy Creek and Millwee Creek that drain towards the river valley. The map documents a contemporary rural environment where agriculture and conservation efforts coexist alongside established family-named landmarks such as Beacon Hill.
