2022 Map of Hillsboro West

About this map

Hillsboro serves as the focal point of this western portion of Hill County, where the historic Hill County Courthouse stands near the eastern edge of the survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several drainage systems, including Aquilla Cr and Hackberry Cr, which carve through the central Texas blackland prairies. The settlement pattern remains largely rural, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes that link smaller communities like Mayfield and Woodbury. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous small burial grounds dispersed across the terrain, such as Woodbury Cem, New Woodbury Cem, Scofield Cem, and Prairiedale Cem. To the east, Katy Lake provides a notable water feature just outside the city limits of Hillsboro, while smaller settlements like Lovelace dot the northern reaches near the banks of Parker Cr.
