1978 Map of Caborn

About this map

The Ohio River shoreline in Posey County serves as the focal point of this late 1970s landscape, where industrial developments like the Southwind Maritime Centre meet the agricultural traditions of southwestern Indiana. This survey captures a rural network of small communities including Bufkin, Caborn, and Marrs Center, interconnected by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by drainage engineering and resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells peppered across the northern uplands and the complex irrigation of Dixon Ditch and Cypress Slough.
