About this map

Borden sits along the Muddy Fork, where the landscape transitions into the steep hills and deep hollows characteristic of southern Indiana's Knobstone Escarpment. This 2016 survey highlights the scattered rural communities and crossroads that define the region, including Starlight, Scottsville, and Navilleton. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous family-named landmarks such as Cubby House Hill, Daisy Hill, and Broom Hill punctuating the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds like Pleasant Ridge Cem and Mount Eden Cem, as well as significant water features including Stumbler Lake and the Greenville Reservoir. The map shows how the topography influenced local road networks, with names like Gibson Hollow Rd and Persimmon Run Rd following the natural contours of the hollows. The boundary between Washington and Clark counties, as well as the Clark and Floyd county lines, are clearly delineated as they bisect the small farms and wooded ridges.
