2010 Map of Sandborn

About this map

Sandborn and Marco sit within a landscape heavily shaped by agricultural water management and the nearby White River. This 2010 topographic representation reveals an intricate system of drainage, including the Black Creek Ditch, Hamilton Ditch, and Beehunter Ditch, which support the fertile lowlands of Cane Green Bottom. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named sites and rural burial grounds, such as Sandborn Cemetery, Marco Cemetery, Delay Cemetery, and Begeman Cemetery. Along the river's edge, human intervention is evident through the Neal Levee and McGinnis Levee, illustrating the long-standing efforts to control the floodwaters of the southwestern Indiana plains. The grid of county roads and rail lines connecting Pleasantville to the larger settlements highlights the region's enduring rural character.
