About this map

The unincorporated community of Brookville serves as the namesake for this 2022 topographical study of Jefferson County, Iowa. The landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural roads that delineate the local genealogy, including Myers Cem, Gantz Cem, and Moorman Cem. These sites are scattered across the headwaters of Church Cr and Mitchell Cr, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the township and range grid system.

A notable modern development is the presence of Maharishi Vedic City, showing how contemporary intentional communities have integrated into the agricultural heartland. To the southeast, the outskirts of Fairfield emerge near the Cedar Hill Cem, while transportation is facilitated by regional links like Brookville Rd and the private Middlekoop Airport. The map captures the quiet transition between established rural homesteads and the growing footprint of surrounding municipalities.
