About this map

The confluence of North Fork and Sandy Lick Creek defines the local geography of Brookville, a thriving Jefferson County seat at the close of the 1960s. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the borough and its surrounding townships, including Rose and Pinecreek, where the rugged topography is punctuated by numerous Gas Wells and a Gas Field in the southeast. The community infrastructure is densely detailed, showing the Courthouse and several educational institutions like Northside East Sch and High Sch.

Beyond the central borough, the landscape transitions into a mix of small settlements and rural landmarks. The industrial legacy of the region is evident in the path of the Penn Central railroad and the Shawmut and Pittsburg route, alongside signs of extractive industry such as a Strip Mine in the south. Local heritage is preserved through markers like St Marys Cems, Zion Ch, and the County Home near Port Barnett.
