1924 Map of Brookville

About this map

Brookville serves as the regional hub at the confluence of the North Fork and Sandy Creek, where the local topography is defined by the deep carving of Redbank Creek. In the early 1920s, the landscape across Jefferson County was densely dotted with rural infrastructure, particularly one-room schoolhouses like the Hazel Dell School, Oaks School, and Beech Hollow School. These small institutions, along with numerous settlements such as Summerville, Worthville, and Knoxdale, highlight a period of decentralized community life before the consolidation of rural districts.
