1953 Map of Guilford

About this map

Guilford sits at the convergence of several major drainages, including the West Fork and Tanners Creek, where the New York Central railroad tracks navigate the deeply dissected landscape of Dearborn County. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges, most notably Sawdon Ridge and York Ridge, which separate the various forks of the creek system. Small agricultural and crossroads communities such as Dover, Yorkville, and New Alsace are scattered across the higher ground, often centered around local institutions like St Johns Ch or Mt Pleasant Ch.
