2022 Map of Brookston

About this map

Tippecanoe River and Wabash River define the lower reach of this landscape, where the town of Battle Ground sits near the site of Prophet Rock. The map illustrates a transition from the agricultural plateaus of White Co into the more complex riverine topography of Tippecanoe Co. A dense network of local roads connects several long-established burial grounds, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem near Brookston and the Americus Cem overlooking the river valley. For the historian or genealogist, the map details many smaller cemeteries such as Smelcer Cem and Harvey Cem that anchor the family histories of former settlements like Ash Grove and Springboro. Modern recreation is represented by the Prophetstown State Park Trails Trl, which winds along the river bluffs near the convergence of Harrison Creek and Burnett Creek.
