2016 Map of Horton

About this map

Beaver Dam and the surrounding drainage of the Rough River define this portion of Ohio County, Kentucky. The landscape is deeply etched by a complex network of waterways, including Muddy Cr, Pigeon Cr, and the Threelick Fork, which flow through the dissected terrain between Barnes Hill and Hickory Knob. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of mid-twentieth-century infrastructure and traditional rural settlements. The William H Natcher Pkwy and Western Kentucky Pkwy converge here, cutting through an area historically anchored by small communities like Horton, Jingo, and Rob Roy. Local history and genealogy are preserved in several family and community burial grounds, such as Taylor Cem, Voyles Cem, and Sunnyside Cem, while the Ohio County Airport represents more recent development on the outskirts of the larger population centers.
