1958 Map of Brownstown

About this map

Brownstown and the adjacent community of Ewing anchor this mid-century portrait of Jackson County, where industrial activity and agricultural drainage define the landscape. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor passes through the southern towns, supporting local industry evidenced by the Brick Kilns, Clay Pit, and Quarry near the East Fork White River. Further north, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific line connects smaller settlements like Surprise and Acme.
