2014 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro and Reynolds serve as the primary hubs of activity along the southern edge of this Tennessee River valley landscape. The terrain is defined by the massive expanse of Wheeler Lake, which separates Lawrence and Limestone counties. To the north, the river is shaped by distinctive features such as Melton Bluff, Upper Bar, and Lower Bar. The map is particularly notable for its dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, illustrating a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like Shackelford Cem, Swoope Cem, and Newman Cem scattered among smaller crossroads communities like Jerusalem and Flower Hill. The landscape transitions from the river flats near Mason Hollow and Egypt Bluff into the agricultural plains and marshy lowlands surrounding Harty Pond and Goose Pond.
