About this map

Hillsboro serves as the central hub of this Montgomery County landscape, flanked by the residential and industrial corridors of Schram City and Taylor Springs. The local geography is heavily defined by the Shoal Cr Watershed Impoundment Reservoir and its associated finger lakes, including Lake Glenn Shoals and Lake Hillsboro, which dominate the western and central sections of the quadrangle. These water bodies reflect a significant engineering effort to manage the Middle Fork Shoal Creek and provide recreational and municipal resources for the surrounding settlements.

Industrial history is clearly marked at the southern edge by the American Zinc Smelter Company Large Lake, while the village of Irving provides a distinct rail-oriented settlement to the northeast. Researchers can trace rural lineages through local burial sites such as Montgomery Cem, McCord Cem, and Hopewell Cem, which are scattered among the agricultural fields and small tributaries like Little Cr and Bearcat Cr.
