About this map

Hillsboro occupies a central position within this landscape, situated at the confluence of several prominent canyons and drainages in Sierra County. The settlement is defined by its orientation along Percha Cr and a network of local roads including Elenore St and Whittenburg Rd. The surrounding terrain is characterized by significant topographical features such as Empire Peak, Black Peak, and the elevated Myers Mesa.

Evidence of the area's geological and mining interests is centered around Copper Flat and Animas Peak to the northeast. Water sources and seasonal drainages dictate the geography, with named features like Warm Springs, Ready Pay Gulch, and the narrow passage known as The Box providing critical landmarks for those navigating the high desert environment. The map also traces more remote features like Trujillo Park Canyon and Dry Canyon, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this Southwestern territory.
