2010 Map of Horton

About this map

Beaver Kill flows through the northern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements including Peakville, Elk Brook, Chiloway, and Horton. The terrain is defined by deep hollows like Long Beach Hollow and Bearpen Hollow, which separate high ridges and narrow valley floors. This 2010 survey illustrates a community where transportation is closely tied to the water, evidenced by the Campbell Covered Bridge and Lower Shavertown Bridge near Methol. The road network is heavily shaped by the local family history and agriculture of Delaware County, with names like John Milk Rd, Arlyn Milk Rd, and Biedekapp Rd marking the paths between upland farms and valley hamlets. To the south, numerous bodies of water such as Deer Lake, Glen Lake, and Crystal Lake suggest a transition toward a recreational and residential character near Acidalia and Rock Valley.
