1969 Map of Brookville

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 join to form Redbank Creek. The town's mid-century infrastructure is well-defined, showing the Courthouse, several local schools such as Northside East School, and the local Recreation Area. Beyond the borough limits, the landscape is heavily influenced by the extraction of natural resources, with an expansive Gas Field and numerous gas wells scattered across the northern townships of Eldred and Warsaw. Transportation patterns are dictated by the rugged creek valleys, which are shared by the automotive routes and the tracks of the Pittsburg and Shawmut and Penn Central railroads. Smaller outlying settlements like Richardsville and Alaska remain connected to the regional hub, while local landmarks such as Kirkman Church and Moorhead Cemetery provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history in the area.
