2016 Map of Borden

About this map

Borden serves as the central settlement in this portion of Colorado County, situated south of the sweeping bends of the Colorado River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Skull Cr and Harveys Cr, which drain the surrounding plains. The area is particularly notable for its concentration of family and community burial sites, which provide significant genealogical value for the region. Genealogists and local researchers can identify several distinct locations such as Old Osage Cem, Fitzgerald Cem, and Miller Creek Cem. The transition from rural roads like Shaws Bend Rd to larger transit corridors near the town center highlights the area's development as a agricultural and residential hub. The map also traces the smaller tributaries like Alligator Br and Dowdy Cr, mapping the natural drainage that has historically shaped the settlement patterns of the county.
