2016 Map of Ironton

About this map

Ironton and its Kentucky neighbors across the Ohio River appear here in a landscape shaped by early industrial legacies and modern civic growth. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Wayne National Forest, where remnants of the region's iron history are visible at Vesuvius Furnace and the Etna Furnace Cem. These hills are crisscrossed by specialized routes like the Hanging Rock Loop OHV, while the southern reaches show the dense urban footprints of Russell, Flatwoods, and Raceland. The river serves as a corridor for infrastructure, from the Ashland Regional Airport to the CSX rail lines. Family history is deeply rooted across the terrain, evidenced by numerous burial sites like Woodland Cem, Saint Marys Catholic Cem, and the Hecla Cem near the community of Hecla.
