2011 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro serves as the hub of this Lawrence County landscape, where the Hillsboro Post Office and Railroad St reflect the historic connectivity of this northern Alabama town. The terrain is defined by the expansive waters of Wheeler Lake and the Tennessee River to the north, which meet the shore at points like Egypt Bluff and Poplar Point. This area is exceptionally dense with family-named burial sites, providing a significant genealogical resource for the region. Genealogists can find numerous documented locations such as Newman Cemetery, Cottingham Cemetery, Ennix Cemetery, and the Foster-Davis Cemetery. Small settlements like Jerusalem, Lovettville, and Reynolds are interspersed among a network of creeks including Mallard Creek and Dry Creek. The map also captures local landmarks such as Harty Pond and the Swoope Bottom lowlands, illustrating the persistent agricultural and riparian character of the Tennessee Valley.
