1966 Map of Borden

About this map

Borden sits at the junction of several drainage systems in this southern Indiana landscape, where the Monon railroad follows the course of the Muddy Fork. The topography is defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows, such as Nicholson Hollow and Breedlove Hollow, which constrained early development to the narrow valley floors and flatter uplands. This 1966 revision, based on earlier surveys from the late 1930s, reveals a rural network of churches and cemeteries that anchored these small communities, including the Mt Eden Cem & Ch and Chapel Hill Ch & Cem.
