1966 Map of Borden

About this map

Borden sits at the convergence of the Muddy Fork valley and the Borden Br in southern Indiana, marking a landscape defined by the winding ridges and deep hollows of the Clark State Forest. The mid-1960s terrain shows a pattern of upland farmsteads and rural crossroads like Martinsburg, Scottsville, and Navilleton, connected by family-named roads such as Conway Road and Miller Evans Rd. The Monon railroad tracks follow the low ground along the fork, serving as the industrial spine for these valley communities. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landmarks including Pleasant Ridge Cem and Lear Hill Ch, alongside topographic curiosities like Cubby House Hill and the many named ravines such as Persimmon Hollow and Salt Well Hollow that drain the timbered heights of the knobs.
