2020 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro sits along the banks of Percha Cr in a landscape defined by the mining and ranching geography of Sierra County. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Empire Peak and Black Peak down into several deep drainages, including Warm Springs Canyon and Snake Gulch. To the northeast, the Copper Flat area highlights the region's industrial footprint, centered near Animas Peak and the winding Greyback Arroyo. This survey provides a modern look at a historical mining district, showing the road network that connects the town to outlying features like Myers Mesa and Trujillo Canyon. The local topography is further characterized by dramatic features such as The Box on Percha Cr and the numerous arroyos and gulches, including Ready Pay Gulch and Animas Gulch, that drain the surrounding high country toward the valley floor.
