1956 Map of Brookville
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Brookville sits at the significant confluence where the Whitewater River meets its East Fork, a geography that defined the town's early industrial and transport identity. This mid-1950s survey captures the region's transition, showing the New York Central railroad following the path of the earlier Whitewater Canal, with an Aqueduct and Covered Bridge still marking the landscape. The intricate drainage network of Wolf Creek, Duck Creek, and Pipe Creek carves through the terrain, separating upland settlements like Blooming Grove and Oak Forest. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several spiritual and community landmarks, including St Michaels Cem, Maple Grove Cemetery, and the Flood Victims Memorial, which stands as a reminder of the river's historical impact on the valley's residents.
