About this map

The settlement of Brooksville serves as a central point in this rural Pottawatomie County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a network of numbered section roads like E125 Rd and N340 Rd. The terrain is characterized by the meandering path of the Little River and its tributaries, including Dance Creek and Sand Creek. A striking feature of this era is the proliferation of small-scale water management projects, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs and dams such as the E T Cope Reservoir, North Deer Creek Lake, and the Jesse McGaha Dam.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cemetery, Brooksville Cemetery, and Ruggles Cemetery. These sites, along with the Holiness Church Camp near Macomb-Y Chisney, suggest a deeply rooted rural community structure. The map also documents the transition from named local thoroughfares like Broadway and Sandy Rock Rd to the more systematic county road grid.
