About this map

Brooksville and the surrounding Pottawatomie County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Little River and a scattering of rural institutions in the early 1970s. The area south of Tecumseh includes the Girls Town (State School) and several namesake land divisions such as Brinton and Burnett. This survey documents the transition of local infrastructure, where an Old Railroad Grade and Old Grade mark the paths of former rail lines through the valley.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including Brooksville Cem, Forest Hill Cem, and Prairie View Cem. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and a Gaging Station near the river indicates the local economy’s reliance on resource extraction and water management. Small community hubs like Macomb and the Holiness Camp appear alongside local churches such as Fairview Ch, providing a detailed picture of this Oklahoma countryside.
