1957 Map of Borden

About this map

The Colorado River carves through this landscape in the late 1950s, defining a region where river bottomlands meet the active rail corridor of the Texas and New Orleans (Southern Pacific). The settlement of Borden serves as a focal point along the tracks, supported by nearby infrastructure like the Borden Siding and a Roadside Park along the Old Spanish Trail. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the terrain, from the Osage Cem and Old Osage Cem in the north to the Miller Creek Cem and Iiams Cem further south.
