2016 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro and Elroy anchor this 2016 survey of western Wisconsin, where the headwaters of the Baraboo River wind through the Driftless Area terrain. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topography, featuring prominent landmarks like The Pinnacle, Tinkers Bluff, and Pikes Peak. Local history is preserved in the numerous rural burial grounds such as Hills Prairie Cem and Mount Vernon Cem, while the small settlement of Dutch Valley sits tucked along the southern hills. Modern infrastructure including Joshua Sanford Field and the Elroy Municipal Airport serves the region, alongside the 400 State Trl which repurposes old rail corridors for recreation. The map meticulously records the intersection of four counties—Juneau, Monroe, Sauk, and Vernon—demonstrating how political boundaries follow the ridge-and-valley patterns of the Seymour Cr and South Branch Creek drainage basins.
