2019 Map of Horton

About this map

The Beaver Kill river serves as the central artery for this Catskill mountain region, flowing through the hamlets of Peakville, Elk Brook, Chiloway, and Horton. The landscape is defined by deep hollows and high ridges, where small valley settlements like Rock Valley and Acidalia persist along the winding creeks. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds including Gould Cem and Rickard Cem, while architectural landmarks like the Campbell Covered Bridge and Lower Shavertown Bridge span the local waterways. The map illustrates a rural network of county roads and mountain lanes, such as Co Rd 17 and Peakville Rd, that follow the natural contours of the land. The presence of features like Pine Swamp and Basket Pond suggests the varied topography that has shaped the growth of these mountain communities from the Delaware-Sullivan county line through the heart of the Horton quadrangle.
