2021 Map of Brownstown

About this map

Brownstown serves as a central hub for this portion of Fayette County, situated along the corridor of E Cumberland Rd. The landscape is defined by a dense network of family and community burial sites, which suggest a long-established rural population. Notable locations for genealogical interest include the Old Loogootee Cem and Arm Prairie Cem, along with several family-named plots like Winslow Pilcher-Cem and Cheshier Cem. South of the main settlement, the community of Confidence sits near the winding paths of Hickory Cr and Little Hickory Cr. This network of waterways, which also includes Sandy Run and Gatch Lake, dictates the local geography and the placement of the county road grid. The presence of the German Reformed Cem further highlights the early cultural and religious foundations of these small agricultural townships.
