About this map

Brookville sits at the confluence of the Whitewater River and its East Fork, serving as a focal point for this Franklin County landscape. The town's layout is bordered by historical burial grounds such as Saint Michaels Cem and Maple Grove Cem, while the neighboring settlement of Stavetown lies just to the south. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Yellow Bank Hill and Boundary Hill, which overlook a network of winding waterways including Snail Creek and Wolf Creek.

Modern recreation and historical transport intersect along the Whitewater Canal Trl, tracing the path of nineteenth-century commerce. To the north, the massive Brookville Lake reservoir dominates the river valley. Genealogists will find interest in several rural family and church yards scattered across the hills, including McKenzie Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and the Wolf Creek Cem located near the small community of Oak Forest.
