About this map

The rolling plains of Lincoln and Brooklyn townships are defined by a network of drainage creeks and the modern imposition of a major north-south corridor. Surveyed in the late 1960s, this landscape shows the density of rural education and faith that once anchored these agricultural communities, with schoolhouses like Lincoln Center Sch and North Star Sch spaced systematically across the township grids.

Watercourses such as Snake Creek and Saddle Creek meander across the terrain, occasionally interrupted by local industry such as the Gravel Pits in the southern sections. The map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including Nazareth Cem and Pioneer Cem, providing essential data for genealogists. The construction of the Fairview Interchange and Viborg Interchange indicates the shifting of local transit from dirt section roads to the high-speed Interstate era.
