About this map

Brownsville and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Fayette and Union Counties are defined by the convergence of several major waterways. The Whitewater River and its East Fork carve through the terrain, joined by tributaries such as Nolands Fork, Butlers Creek, and Simpson Creek. This network of water supported early settlement patterns still visible in the distribution of small communities like Waterloo, Lyonsville, and the crossroad hamlet of Philomath.

Genealogical interest is found at the Simpson Cemetery and Union Cemetery, which serve as quiet landmarks for the rural population. The presence of Squires Airport reflects the continued utility of the flat upland areas between the river valleys. A dense grid of county roads, including Potter Shop Rd and Union County Line Rd, connects these isolated settlements, illustrating the enduring rural infrastructure of eastern Indiana.
