About this map

Hillsboro serves as the central hub of this Montgomery County landscape, where the established town grid meets modern water management systems. To the north, the sprawling fingers of Lake Glenn Shoals and the Shoal Cr Watershed Impoundment Reservoir dominate the hydrology of the Middle Fork Shoal Creek valley. These reservoirs, alongside the American Zinc Smelter Company Large Lake near Taylor Springs, illustrate the intersection of industrial legacy and municipal utility.

Smaller settlements like Schram City and Irving are linked by a network of county roads and rail lines, maintaining their distinct identities amidst the agricultural fields. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds preserved across the townships, including Montgomery Cem and McCord Cem. The terrain is further defined by several tributaries, such as Long Br and Bearcat Cr, which carve through the prairie towards the larger creek system.
