About this map

Brookland and its surrounding communities are documented here in 2017, where the transition between the elevated topography of Crowleys Ridge and the flatter eastern plains is clearly defined. The area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Sweet Moments Cem, Nober Cem, and Woods Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Craighead County.

Transport and settlement patterns are anchored by the Missouri rail line and established unincorporated communities like Goobertown, Antioch, and Bethel. Numerous watercourses, including Thompson Cr and Rooker Cr, dissect the landscape, while named elevations like Burnt Hill provide local landmarks. The intricate network of county roads, such as Old Greensboro Rd and Wood Chapel Rd, reflects a landscape deeply rooted in agrarian and residential development along the Greene County line.
