2013 Map of Brownsville

About this map

The E Fork Whitewater River carves through the eastern portion of this landscape, defining the character of the area surrounding Brownsville. Further west, the drainage systems of Nolands Fork, Whitewater River, and Simpson Cr create a network of waterways that have historically influenced the placement of rural crossroads and agriculture. Smaller settlements like Philomath, Waterloo, and Springersville appear as concentrated points along a grid of county roads, such as Pottershop Rd and W Fayette Co Line Rd. The map illustrates a stable agricultural region where legacy property lines and township divisions, like the Abington Twp Line Rd, persist alongside modern infrastructure. This 2013 survey is particularly useful for genealogists tracing family locations in Fayette and Union counties, where local landmarks like Lyonsville and the winding course of Butlers Cr remain central to the local geography.
