1955 Map of Brookville

About this map

Brookville serves as a key rail point in this mid-century portrait of Saline County, where the Union Pacific line cuts diagonally across the prairie. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Mulberry Creek, Eff Creek, and Spring Creek, supporting a series of small agricultural settlements and rural townships like Ohio and Glendale. Near the eastern edge, Bavaria sits along the rail line, while Hedville marks the junction near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe tracks in the northern reaches.
