1960 Map of Brookline

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

St Louis San Francisco railroad lines anchor the geography of this Greene County region, connecting the burgeoning community of Republic to the smaller settlements of Elwood and Haseltine. The landscape is a mix of agricultural fields and early suburban expansion, with infrastructure like the Springfield Municipal Airport and Microwave Towers signaling the era's modernization. Significant local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the townships, including Evergreen Cem, Harrington Cem, and the White Chapel Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Water sources such as Wilson Creek, Pond Creek, and Dailey Spring drain the varied terrain, which also shows signs of industry at a local Quarry. The settlement at Brookline (Brookline Station P O) serves as a notable landmark for genealogists tracing families along the rail corridors southwest of the city.
