2014 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Oconee National Forest dominates this Piedmont landscape, preserving a network of creeks and timberlands where family histories are etched into the terrain. Small rural settlements like Hillsboro and Adgateville serve as anchors along the roadway network, particularly where State Rte 11 and the Old Macon Rd traverse the hills. The map is a vital resource for genealogists, documenting secluded burial sites such as the John H Tillman Cem, Hillsboro Cem, and the John Gordon Cem near the Jasper Co and Jones Co border. Waterways including Falling Creek and Stalking Head Cr define the drainage patterns that shaped early land lots. The presence of Piedmont Wildlife Lake and numerous forest service roads suggests a landscape managed for both timber and conservation, while retaining the names of legacy families through features like Towns Br and Ezell Rd.
