1960 Map of Brookline

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Brookline and Republic anchor this mid-century portrait of Greene County, where the infrastructure of transportation and regional aviation was rapidly evolving. The St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, connecting small communities like Elwood and Haseltine to the larger hubs. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural land to modern utility, evidenced by the proximity of Springfield Municipal Airport and the smaller Westport Landing Field. Local family history is preserved in several burial grounds, including White Chapel Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Evergreen Cem, and Harrington Cem. Water features such as the Sac River and Dailey Spring contrast with industrial markers like the Quarry and Radio Tower Substation, illustrating a landscape in flux as rural townships like North Campbell and Wilson began to interface with expanding municipal boundaries.
