Hillsboro serves as the focal point of this 2024 survey, situated at a junction where modern development meets the rolling landscape of Montgomery County. The town's civic heart is marked by the Montgomery County Courthouse, around which the communities of Schram City and Taylor Springs have matured. The surrounding geography is defined by the extensive Shoal Cr Watershed Impoundment Reservoir and Lake Hillsboro, which shape the local hydrology alongside the Middle Fork Shoal Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including McCord Cem and King Cem, scattered among the rural sections and small settlements like Irving. This modern topographic study illustrates the transition from organized street grids to the expansive tracts of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Illinois.
