2018 Map of Brookville

About this map

Brookville and the unique planned community of Maharishi Vedic City anchor this portion of Jefferson County, Iowa. The landscape is defined by the regular grid of rural section lines and a significant number of family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep agricultural roots of the region. Genealogists can find several notable sites including Myers Cem, Gantz Cem, and Moorman Cem scattered among the farmsteads. The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways such as Church Cr and Cedar Cr, which cut through the fertile till plains. Industrial and transit features are relatively sparse, though Middlekoop Airport provides a local aviation link. The settlement pattern here demonstrates a blend of traditional Iowa township development alongside modern intentional community planning near the eastern edge of the survey.
