2022 Map of Horton

About this map

The Rough River and its southern tributaries define the topography of this Ohio County region, where the P & L RR corridor serves as a central artery through the settlement of Horton. The landscape is heavily marked by small community and family burial grounds, offering significant detail for genealogical research. Notable sites include the African American Bethel Cem and the Tichenor Family Farm Cem, alongside several other denominational cemeteries like Liberty Methodist Church Cem and Mount Zion Baptist Church Cem. The terrain rises from the Muddy Cr basin toward landmarks such as Barnes Hill and Hickory Knob. This area reflects a traditional Kentucky rural structure where small church-centered communities like Rob Roy and Jingo are connected by a network of named local roads and farm lanes, anchored by the proximity of Hartford and Beaver Dam.
