2019 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Veedersburg and Hillsboro anchor this portion of Fountain County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of East Fork Coal Creek and its tributaries. The settlement pattern reveals a transition from small rural junctions like Steam Corner and Centennial to the more structured grids of the larger towns. For those studying local lineage, the area is dotted with numerous burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem, Spring Hill Cem, and the family-named Bonebrake Cem. The terrain south of Hillsboro is primarily rural, marked by a dense network of county roads like S New Liberty Rd and S McKinney Rd that facilitate access to agricultural lands and isolated features such as Scotts Prairie Cem. Prairie Cr and Buffalo Cr drain the southwestern portions, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that historically influenced local land use and development.
