About this map

Sandborn anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the convergence of the Greene and Knox County lines meets an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. This 2019 survey illustrates how the low-lying terrain of southwestern Indiana is defined by a complex web of waterways, including Black Creek, Singer Ditch, and Beehunter Ditch. These channels support the agricultural character of areas like Cane Green Bottom, where the natural hydrology has been significantly modified to manage the watershed.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several significant burial sites across the township boundaries, from Sandborn Cem and Delay Cem near the town center to Marco Cem and Begeman Cem in the surrounding rural sections. The map also records the small settlements of Marco and Pleasantville, connected by a grid of county roads that navigate the distinct drainage basins of Hamilton Ditch and Ramsey Ditch.
