2014 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Hillsboro serves as the focal point of this mapping, where the Tualatin River basin meets the foothills of the Tualatin Mountains. The transition from rural to urban is evident, with agricultural heritage preserved in sites like the Old Scotch Cem and W Union Cem contrasted against the modern infrastructure of the Portland-Hillsboro Airport and the Hillsboro Central-Transit Center. The southern reach is dominated by the Jackson Bottom wetlands and several reservoirs including Teufel Reservoir and Bastion Reservoir, which define the local drainage into Dairy Cr. Historically significant settlements such as Helvetia, West Union, and Glencoe ring the valley floor, connected by a dense network of roads that follow early land claims and topographic contours like Pumpkin Ridge.
