About this map

Aquilla Lake dominates the central landscape of this Hill County region, its irregular shoreline reaching north from a prominent dam structure. The settlement of Vaughan sits just east of the lake's southern reaches, while the village of Peoria is situated to the northwest at the intersection of several local routes, including FM 1947. This 2019 survey reflects a modern landscape where reservoir management and rural transportation networks define the area's geography.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important burial sites, including the Vaughan Cem near its namesake settlement, Hickey Cem tucked between the forks of Jacks Br, and the Hillcrest Garden of Memory Cem further north. In the northeast corner, the outskirts of Hillsboro and the community of Winslow are visible along the corridor of Old Hwy 81, providing a clear record of the residential and road development patterns in this part of Texas.
