1951 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

The winding loops of the Licking River define the southern and western reaches of this landscape on the border of Fleming and Bath counties. This mid-century survey, updated in the late 1970s, documents a rural network of small communities and crossroads settlements such as Hillsboro, Poplar Plains, and Sunset. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways, including Locust Creek, Fox Creek, and Indian Creek, which converge toward the river valley.
