About this map

Hillsboro anchor the northeastern corner of this Highland County landscape, where the plateau begins to break into the drainage basins of the Rocky Fork and White Oak Cr. The map reveals a dense network of early settlements and family burial grounds, suggesting a deeply rooted agricultural history. Scattered throughout the rural landscape are numerous small communities including New Market, Danville, and Shackleton, each connected by a web of township and county highways that follow the natural rises and falls of the land.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named cemeteries and landmarks, such as Fenner Number 1, Fenner Number 2 Cem, and Fenner Number 3 Cem, as well as Dunns Chapel Cem and the Old Dutch Cem. Significant elevations like Horner Hill and Calebs Hill provide orientation across the terrain, while the courses of Dodson Cr and the N Fork White Oak Cr define the local topography and historical property lines.
