1953 Map of Borden

About this map

Canisteo River flows across the northern reaches of this Steuben County landscape, where the Conrail line skirts the valley near Derby Switch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hills and hollows, often named for early local families, including Symonds Hill, Earl Beatty Hill, and Barney Hill. This mid-century view, updated with 1970s woodland revisions, reveals a rural economy centered on small crossroads like Borden and South Addison.
