Nashville's rolling hills, ridges, and valleys are a story of the north fork of Salt Creek. The surrounding hills are made of sandstone, siltstone and shale. These sedimentary rocks were laid down in an ancient river delta named the Borden delta, similar to the current Mississippi River delta.<ref name="Hill">Hill, J.R., 1981, [http://igs.indiana.edu/survey/bookstore/bookstoredetail.cfm?ItemID=835&Pub_Num=SPG09 Geologic story of Brown County State Park:] Indiana Geological Survey State Park Guide 9</ref>
