About this map

Brookville sits at the intersection of Carroll and Ogle Counties, anchoring a rural landscape defined by the winding course of Elkhorn Cr and its many tributaries. This corner of Northwest Illinois remains deeply rooted in its agricultural heritage, with family-named roadways like Flory Rd and Hitt Rd connecting the scattered homesteads. The topography is marked by notable depressions such as Goose Hollow and the converging waters of Eagle Cr and Middle Cr.

Genealogists will find this particular survey especially useful for its clear identification of numerous local burial grounds, including Brookville Lutheran Cem, Forreston Grove Cem, and the Schriner Cem near Elkhorn Grove. The concentration of these cemeteries, alongside the Brookville Township Cem and Chambers Grove Cem, reflects the long-standing community centers of the township and the historic settlement patterns that have endured into the 21st century.
