1968 Map of Hillsborough

About this map

Hillsborough and its surrounding Piedmont landscape are defined by the winding course of the Eno River and the prominent heights of Occoneechee Mtn. This survey captures the area during a period of transition, showing the established core of West Hillsborough alongside emerging residential pockets like Fairview and Mountain View. Local history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by the Governor Burke Grave and numerous country congregations such as Mars Hill Ch and New Sharon Ch. The infrastructure of the late 1960s is clearly visible, from the Southern railroad line and the County Subsidiary Prison No 056 to the various educational centers like Orange High Sch and Cameron Park Sch. The terrain is marked by significant local landmarks including Panthers Den Mtn and Scarlett Hill, reflecting the diverse topography that shaped the development of Orange County.
