2016 Map of Olaton

About this map

Olaton and the surrounding Ohio County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Rough River and its many tributaries, including Caney Creek and Adams Fork. This 2016 survey documents a landscape where traditional industry and family history remain visible. The Ft Hartford Mine sits south of the river, while the community of Narrows is situated near several key crossings. Genealogists will find numerous family-linked landmarks, such as Haynes Cem, Grant Cem, and Axton Cem. The map reveals a complex network of rural infrastructure, from the Barretts Ford Bridge to the remnants of a Railroad Bed Rd in the north. The terrain varies from the elevations of Browns Ridge to the secluded Cove Hollow, showing how the local road system, including Yeaman Rd and Dundee Narrows Rd, adapts to the area's many valleys and runs.
