About this map

Brookville serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County survey, situated at the confluence where the North Fork and Sandy Lick Creek meet to form Red Bank Creek. The town's institutional landscape is well-documented, featuring the Courthouse, the Brookville High School, and the County Home to the east. Transportation and industry define the periphery, with the Pittsburg and Shawmut and Penn Central railroads threading through the valleys alongside numerous Gas Wells.

Evidence of the region's extractive economy is visible in several Strip Mines to the south in Knox. Smaller settlements like Port Barnett and Alaska are connected by a network of rural routes, while the northern reaches transition into the wooded drainage of Craft Run and Shippen Run. Genealogists will find many local landmarks preserved, including St Marys Cemetery and country churches such as Kirkman Church and Bethel Church.
