1927 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro serves as the central hub of this 1920s landscape, situated at the confluence of the South Fork Baraboo River and the Branch. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, where nearly every ridge and valley is anchored by a neighborhood schoolhouse, such as the Mayflower School or Whiteoak Grove School. These small institutions, along with houses of worship like Union Church and Beaver Valley Church, delineate the social geography of Vernon, Monroe, and Richland counties during this period of agrarian stability.
