2018 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro and Elroy anchor this landscape where the Baraboo River and its tributaries carve a complex series of valleys through the Driftless Area. The terrain is defined by prominent topographical features like The Pinnacle, Tinkers Bluff, and Pikes Peak, which overlook broad lowlands such as Dutch Valley and Mack Valley. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent agricultural and small-town character of the region, where legacy sites like Saint Patricks Cem and Hills Prairie Cem provide vital links for local genealogical research. Transportation corridors are well-defined, including the 400 State TRL and the Elroy Municipal Airport, showing how modern infrastructure follows the natural contours established by the river system. The convergence of Hills Cr and the W Br Baraboo River near Hillsboro highlights the geographic importance of water to the early development of these Wisconsin settlements.
