1966 Map of Hillsboro West

About this map

The county seat of Hillsboro anchor the southeast corner of this mid-1960s survey, showing a network of civic infrastructure from the Courthouse and City Hall to the Armory and local schools like Harris Sch. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Brazos River basin, with Hackberry Creek and Cattail Branch cutting through the rolling Hill County terrain. An Old Railroad Grade and an Old RR Grade trace a diagonal path across the center of the sheet, marking the former route of the rail lines that once fueled the growth of settlements like Mayfield. Small rural communities remain centered around landmarks such as the Woodbury Cem and Prairiedale Cem, while the modern era is represented by a Drive-in Theater and Radio Tower.
