2009 Map of Horton

About this map

The city of Horton serves as the primary hub of this Brown County landscape, characterized by a grid of agricultural section roads and the winding paths of Grasshopper Creek and the Little Delaware River. In the northeastern corner, the small settlement of Willis sits near the headwaters of local tributaries, while the community of Mercier is positioned to the west. A significant local landmark is Mission Lake, held by the Mission Lake Dam and surrounded by community resources like the Mission Lake Camp. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial sites including Saint Peters Cemetery, Wheatland Cemetery, and the Horton Municipal Cemetery. The terrain is defined by its transition from high prairie farmland to the wooded riparian zones of Otter Creek and Walnut Creek, with the Horton Municipal Airport situated just north of the city limits.
