1961 Map of Hillsboro
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The city of Hillsboro serves as the focal point of this Highland County landscape, showing a dense street grid including Main St and High St surrounding the central courthouse. To the east, the waters of Rocky Fork Lake and the adjacent Rocky Fork State Park define the local geography, created by the damming of Rocky Fork. The surrounding townships of Liberty, Washington, Marshall, and Paint are marked by a pattern of rural development centered on small communities like Boston and Berrysville. Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including the Mt Washington Ch and several family or community burial grounds such as Kelly Cem and Carlisle Cem. The presence of a Radio Tower, High Sch, and a County home reflects the mid-century infrastructure and social services supporting the region during the early 1960s.
