2019 Map of Yucatan

About this map

Yucatan and the winding course of the S Fork Root River define this corner of Houston County, where the Fillmore County line meets a landscape of deep valleys and prominent ridges. The settlement pattern follows the drainages, with the town center situated at the confluence of the river and Riceford Cr. This 2019 survey documents a high concentration of burial grounds, including the First Yucatan Cem, Yucatan Cem, and Old Ridge Cem, which serve as vital markers for local family historians. The terrain is distinctly characterized by named lowlands like Rooster Valley, Chisholm Valley, and Yucatan Valley, contrasting with the high ground of Irish Ridge and Oak Ridge. The road network, including Co Rd 13 and Yucatan Rd, navigates the complex topography between the river forks and their tributary creeks.
