2010 Map of Brookston

About this map

The Tippecanoe River carves a winding path through the eastern portion of this landscape, eventually meeting the Wabash River near the settlement of Americus. This area is rich in sites of local memory, from the Battle Ground community and its namesake Battle Ground Cemetery to the landmark at Prophet Rock. The map reveals a rural infrastructure of small airstrips like Bartlett Airport and scattered family or community burial grounds including Smelcer Cemetery and Harvey Cemetery. Agriculture and hydrology dominate the terrain, defined by the convergence of Moots Creek, Burnett Creek, and Spring Creek. The layout of local routes, such as Pretty Prairie Rd and Indian Bluff Rd, suggests a landscape deeply connected to its river valleys and historical landmarks.
