About this map

Horton serves as the primary hub in this portion of Brown County, situated at a junction of roads and waterways that include Mission Cr and the Little Delaware River. The town's grid is well-defined, supporting local industry and community life through sites like the Horton Municipal Airport and the scenic Mission Lake. To the north, the small settlement of Mercier stands amidst an agricultural landscape defined by section-line roads such as Horned Owl Rd and Jackrabbit Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the township, including Saint Peters Cem, Wheatland Cem, and the Horton Municipal Cem. The presence of Mission Lake Camp near the water's edge suggests a long-standing local tradition of recreation and community gathering, while the surrounding terrain is drained by the Middle Fork Wolf River and the Delaware River to the south.
