2013 Map of Horton

About this map

The Rough River and its complex network of tributaries, including N Fork Muddy Cr and Threelick Fork, define the rural geography of this portion of Ohio County. This landscape is characterized by a mix of established crossroads and aviation infrastructure, anchored by the Ohio County Airport and the community of Horton. The path of the William H. Natcher Pkwy S cuts diagonally across the terrain, intersecting local history at Sandefur Crossing and Rob Roy. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named and local burial sites, such as Taylor Cem, Voyles Cem, and Mt Pleasant Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and creek valleys. Notable landforms like Barnes Hill rise above the drainage basins of Mill Cr and Elmlick Cr, illustrating the transition from bottomlands to upland areas in this part of Kentucky.
