About this map

The town of Hillsboro serves as the primary hub of this Highland County landscape, where the historic Highland County Courthouse remains the architectural center. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of creeks flowing toward the reservoir, including Wolf Creek and Rocky Fork, which eventually meet at the expansive Rocky Fork Lake. While Hillsboro anchors the northwest, smaller settlements like Boston and Berrysville mark the rural reaches, connected by a network of township and county roads that traverse landforms like Pea Ridge and Lilley Hill.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the large Hillsboro Cem and Saint Marys Cem in town to rural locations like Creek Cem and Prospect Cem. The presence of the Southern State Community College Central Campus and the Highland County Airport indicates the modern evolution of this region, even as the landscape retains its traditional pattern of family-named landmarks and watercourses like Little Rock Creek.
