About this map

Hillsboro serves as the primary hub of activity in this part of Marion County, situated amidst a fertile landscape defined by the winding South Cottonwood River and Antelope Creek. The grid system of the town is well-established, with residential and commercial corridors like S Ash St and Old Hwy 56 branching out from the center. Beyond the town limits, the geography is largely agricultural, marked by several significant burial grounds including Gnadenau Cemetery and Gard Cemetery, which point to the area's deep-rooted community history and early settlement patterns.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent on this 2010 map, from the Hillsboro Municipal Airport southwest of the main settlement to the extensive network of rural roads such as Indigo Rd and Mustang Rd. In the northeast corner, a portion of the Marion Reservoir appears, indicating the local reliance on water management systems. The map also traces smaller tributaries like Spring Branch and Catlin Creek, providing a detailed record of the rural drainage and topography of the central Kansas plains.
