2019 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

The Licking River forms a significant portion of the southern boundary in this part of Fleming County, carving through a landscape defined by sharp ridge-lines and creek valleys. Several small crossroad communities like Hillsboro and Poplar Plains serve as anchor points for the rural road network, which includes family-named routes such as McKee Ln and Thurman Ln. For those interested in local history, the map documents numerous bridges and crossings including the Samuels Trestle Bridge and Graham Trestle Bridge. This edition records a terrain where life follows the natural contours, with agricultural land and small settlements like Locust and Sunset positioned along the higher ground of Locust Graveyard Hill or tucked into the bends of waterways like Locust Creek and Fox Creek. Several burial sites, including the Locust Graveyard and Hillsboro Cem, are preserved here, offering clear points of reference for genealogical research in this Kentucky region.
