About this map

The East Fork Whitewater River carves a path through this mid-1970s landscape, where the rising waters of Brookville Lake begin to reshape the valley floor. The town of Liberty serves as the focal point, anchored by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the Liberty High School. To the north, the small community of Abington sits near the county line, while Yankee Town and Clifton mark smaller rural clusters.

Genealogists can find numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Locust Grove Cemetery and West Point Cemetery, scattered across the township divisions of Brownsville and Harrison. The transition toward recreational land use is evident in the establishment of Whitewater State Park, contrasting with the older agricultural and industrial patterns seen at the Sand and Gravel Pit near the river.
