1979 Map of Hillside

About this map

Hillside sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in the late 1970s, where the grid of sections defines the social and physical geography of Douglas and Davison Counties. The area is marked by a deep-rooted network of country institutions, including St John Ch and several burial grounds such as Friedhof Cem and Roberts Chapel Cem. These features, along with the Washington No 1 Sch, suggest a long-established rural community organized around small townships like Baker and Washington. The South Fork Twelvemile Creek meanders through the northeast, providing a natural break in the otherwise orderly section lines. Economic and recreational needs are represented by a localized Gravel Pit and the Roadside Park near the southern edge, reflecting the steady rhythm of prairie life during this era.
