THE HORTON LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Unglaciated High Allegheny Plateau setting.

Horton township has 57 square miles of land in Elk County. Its Census reference point is in Unglaciated High Allegheny Plateau, within North Central Appalachians.

Forest-covered plateau surfaces, high hills and low mountains are underlain by layered sedimentary rocks. Most of this region escaped continental glaciation, leaving deeply cut upland terrain.

Regional context: North Central Appalachians ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Horton and Elk County

Horton is associated with Elk County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Elk County

Horton by land and water

The Census records 0.09 square miles of water within Horton, or 0.2% of its total area. It is 0.4 percentage points lower than the 0.6% recorded for Elk County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Horton township has 52.1 times the land area of nearby Crenshaw CDP (1.1 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Horton land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Horton

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Horton. Check the Elk County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Unglaciated High Allegheny Plateau setting

Unglaciated High Allegheny Plateau belongs to North Central Appalachians. Is the property mainly plateau top or valley slope, and do existing access records identify road and stream crossings?

03

Check the route, beyond Crenshaw

Crenshaw is 3.7 miles southwest of the Horton reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Horton
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Horton?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Elk County. Horton’s 57 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Horton property in Unglaciated High Allegheny Plateau?+

No. Unglaciated High Allegheny Plateau is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Horton boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Crenshaw as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 3.7 miles southwest of Horton’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Horton?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
