2016 Map of Houston

About this map

Root River and its S Fork Root River define the southern landscape of this region, where the town of Houston serves as a central hub. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent valleys and hollows, including Campbell Valley, Wiscoy Valley, and Skunk Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads. The settlement of Money Creek sits to the northwest, surrounded by several historical burial sites such as the Old Money Creek Cem and Money Creek Cem. Genealogy researchers will find an exceptional density of family and community landmarks, from the Omodt Family Cem in the west to the Looney Valley Cem in the east. The map detail highlights the transition from the upland ridges like Stinson Ridge Rd down to the fertile basins near Buell Lakes, illustrating the enduring agricultural and rural cemetery patterns of Houston County.
