1951 Map of Hillsboro

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Hillsboro and Poplar Plains serve as the primary nodes of activity in this 1951 study of the Fleming County landscape. The area is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Licking River forms a major southern boundary, winding through the terrain alongside numerous tributaries such as Locust Creek, Fox Creek, and Indian Creek. The map documents a predominantly rural and religious local culture, anchored by landmarks like Mt Hope Camp and Eden Chapel. Small crossroad settlements like Sunset and Bald Hill appear among the ridges, while the presence of an Inactive Rock Quarry near the northern edge suggests the earlier extraction of local stone. For genealogists, the Hillsboro Cemetery provides a specific point of reference within the settlement of Hillsboro, situated amidst the undulating hills and creek branches that characterize this part of Kentucky.
