About this map

Hillsboro serves as the focal point of this Red River Valley survey, situated where the Great Northern railroad corridor meets the winding course of the Goose River. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear township system, spanning portions of Wold, Norway, Bloomfield, Eldorado, and Hillsboro townships. This agricultural layout is punctuated by a high concentration of small cemeteries and rural churches that reflect the early settlement patterns of Traill County.

Among the notable landmarks are St Olaf Ch and its accompanying St Olaf Ch Cem to the north, while the area around the river is home to several burial grounds including Riverside Cem, St Rose Cem, and Immanuel Cem. The presence of the small settlement at Taft and a scattered Townhall indicate the local civic structure of the mid-20th century. The intricate meanders of the Goose River contrast sharply with the industrial straightness of the railroad and the local Sewage Disposal Ponds.
