About this map

The railroad community of Brookville anchors this western Saline County landscape, where the township grid meets the winding courses of several plains tributaries. The town site is clearly defined by its street grid, featuring Calvary Cem on its eastern edge and a central Po serving the local population. Further east, the settlement of Bavaria sits along the rail line and Schilling Rd, while Hedville marks the northeastern portion of the survey.

A network of seasonal watercourses, including Spring Creek and Eff Creek, dictates the placement of rural homesteads and agricultural fields. Notable for local researchers and visitors is the Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure, located just south of W Railroad Ave. This 2012 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, such as W State Street Rd and Magnolia Rd, overlays the traditional 19th-century settlement patterns of central Kansas.
