About this map

Hillsboro serves as the focal point of this Central Texas survey, revealing a town defined by its educational and transport infrastructure during the late 1960s. The presence of Hill Jr College and several local schools, including Franklin Sch, Travis Sch, and Peabody Sch, highlights the community's civic priorities. A sophisticated water management system is visible across the landscape, with numerous numbered structures such as Dam No 51 through Dam No 62 regulating the flow of local tributaries like White Rock Creek and Pecan Creek.

Industry and transport are marked by the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to shifting logistics in Hill County. Outside the main town, smaller settlements like Mountain View, Midway, and Lakenon dot the terrain, while landmarks such as Katy Lake and the Hillsboro Municipal Airport anchor the suburban and rural transition zones. This map provides a clear record of family-significant sites, including the Park Ridge Cem and Love View Ch.
