About this map

Brookville and its surrounding township sections are defined by the intersection of historic transit routes and prairie waterways. W Old Highway 40 cuts a diagonal path through the southern half of the landscape, passing through Bavaria and continuing west. The area's local history is anchored by the proximity of Brookville Cem and Calvary Cem, situated just north of the primary settlement.

A network of gravel and paved roads follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including W Stimmel Rd and S Hedville Rd, which connect the small communities. The drainage of the land is shaped by several creeks, notably Eff Cr in the northwest and Spring Cr which meanders toward the south. To the northeast, the settlement of Hedville sits near the banks of Mulberry Cr, illustrating the typical Kansas pattern of small agricultural centers established along water and early rail corridors like Railroad Ave.
