2023 Map of Ironton

About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery for this industrial and forested landscape, separating the city of Ironton and its riverbank neighborhoods from the Kentucky communities of Russell, Flatwoods, and Raceland. The urban core of Ironton is anchored by the Lawrence County Courthouse and Ohio University Southern, with dense residential grids extending toward the hills of the Wayne National Forest. To the north, the terrain shifts into the heavily wooded ridges and hollows of the forest, where a network of trails such as the Hanging Rock Loop Trl and Vesuvius Main Loop Trl traverse the landscape near Vesuvius Furnace.
