1945 Map of Brookfield

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Brookfield serves as the central hub of this mid-century landscape, where the rural character of Madison County is defined by a network of creek valleys and upland hills. The Unadilla River forms a natural eastern boundary, winding past Leonardsville and West Edmeston, while Beaver Creek carves a path through the center of the quadrangle. This 1940s mapping, conducted by the War Department and the Tennessee Valley Authority, captures a snapshot of a farming economy organized around small schoolhouses like Waterman Sch and School No. 7. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including Clarke Cem and Gorton Cem, are scattered across the terrain near Witter Hill and Button Hill, providing essential data points for local genealogists and historians. The presence of the Fairgrounds just north of Brookfield highlights the town's importance as a gathering place for the surrounding agricultural community.
