2012 Map of Houghton

About this map

Houghton sits at the intersection of a sprawling water system in Brown County, where the meandering path of the James River feeds into significant catchment areas. The landscape is dominated by the Mud Lake Reservoir and the Columbia Road Reservoir, which together shape the local geography and suggest a region deeply tied to water management and drainage. This 2012 survey illustrates the grid-based settlement pattern of the northern plains, where numbered avenues like 399th Ave and 400th Ave define the agricultural sections.
