About this map

Everton and the crossroads of Alquina anchor this rural landscape in the early 1970s, as the terrain transitions from the valley of the East Fk Whitewater River toward the hills of Jackson and Harmony townships. The map reveals a community defined by its watercourses and small-scale infrastructure, featuring the Brookville Lake reservoir and several family-named landmarks. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of the Little Children Home and local burial grounds like Mt Garrison Cem and Poplar Ridge Cem.

A notable information-gain insight is the prominence of the Treaty Line Road, which marks a significant historical boundary running through the center of the sheet. Further south, the settlement of Blooming Grove and the site of Fairfield sit near the confluence of Ellis Creek and Salt Well Creek, illustrating how the road network, including Greenville Road and Swift Road, was adapted to the winding valley floor.
