1984 Map of Brooklyn

About this map

Brooklyn stands as the primary community within this rural landscape of northern Missouri, situated amidst a complex network of waterways and township boundaries. The area is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Big Creek and its tributaries, including Shain Creek and Little Creek, which carve through the terrain of Hamilton, Union, and Dallas townships. A small Cem (cemetery) and a designated Pumping Station provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family plots or local infrastructure from the mid-1980s. This survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, documents the rural land divisions and water courses just before many such remote landscapes underwent further modernization or consolidation.
