2012 Map of Brookville

About this map

Brookville serves as the central hub of this agricultural region in Carroll County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Elkhorn Cr and its various branches. The area maintains its rural character with long-established property boundaries and a network of section-line roads, including Ogle Rd and Shannon Rte. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial sites, such as the Brookville Township Cem and the Schriner Cem located near the western edge of the quadrangle. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Elkhorn Grove sits near the winding path of Middle Cr. The terrain is punctuated by small hollows and family-held land like Folkers Farm, illustrating the persistent farming tradition of Northern Illinois. Other notable landmarks include the Rock River Camp and the small locality of Goose Hollow, both situated along the township's interior corridors.
