1958 Map of Dillsboro

About this map

Moores Hill and Dillsboro anchor this late-1950s landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR cuts a path through the dissected uplands of Dearborn County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Holman Ridge, Mount Sinai Ridge, and Mount Tabor Ridge, which separate the various forks of Hogan Creek. This geography heavily influenced local settlement patterns, with roads and small communities like Sparta and Chesterville following the higher ground while smaller hollows like Brock Hollow and Love Hollow remain less developed.
