About this map

The White River and its floodplain dominate the eastern edge of this landscape, while White Lick Creek carves a path through the west, passing the growing communities of Mooresville and Brooklyn. This 1965 revision shows a transition in land use, where traditional agricultural fields meet new residential developments like Brookmoor and Crestview Heights. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the Pennsylvania RR corridor and the industrial Gravel Pit operations near Waverly.

Local history is preserved in the network of country schools and churches that served these townships, including the Wiser School and Bethel Chapel. For genealogists, the map identifies several small burial grounds such as Miller Cemetery and Butterfield Cemetery. Distinctive terrain features like The Bluffs and Waverly Woods contrast with the engineered landscape of the Sewage Disposal facility and the Drive-in Theater near Brooklyn.
