2010 Map of Olaton

About this map

Rough River snakes across this portion of Ohio County, Kentucky, defining the local geography alongside tributaries like Caney Creek and Huff Creek. Small rural settlements such as Olaton, Narrows, and Shreve are connected by a network of country roads, several of which bear the names of local families. A notable legacy of transportation is visible in Railroad Bed Rd, which preserves the path of a former rail line through the hills. For family historians, the landscape is punctuated by ancestral sites including Axton Cemetery, Grant Cemetery, and Haynes Cemetery. The presence of Barretts Ford Bridge across the river highlights a historic crossing point in a region where local travel was long shaped by the water's course and the winding valley floor.
