2011 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

The settlement of Hillsboro and the nearby village of Adgateville anchor this portion of Jasper County, characterized by a network of rural roads and scattered hunting camps. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Hillsboro Cemetery, John Tillman Cemetery, and John Gordon Cemetery, which are tucked away among the many branches and creeks that define the drainage of the area. The landscape is dominated by a complex system of waterways, including Falling Creek and the central Stalking Head Creek, which feed into the Piedmont Wildlife Lake. The importance of the outdoor economy is evident through the naming of several specific sites such as Camp Six Hunt Camp, Lungsford Hunt Camp, and Tribble Fields. Significant infrastructure includes the Hillsboro Post Office and the Piedmont Wildlife Lake Dam, providing a clear record of local geography as it stood in the early 2010s.
