Brookland, Fox Hill and the roads up to Gold
Start at Brookland, near the middle of the sheet. Sweden Hill Road comes in from the west, and North Brookland Road heads off to the northwest. Now take Fox Hill Road north. You'll pass Fox Hill, where Dykeman Road, Emmel Road and Tom May Road branch off. Keep going up to Cowburn Road and turn west. Kibbeville Road cuts across to Pushersiding Road, which runs through Newfield. From there, Gazdag Road heads west to Gold Road, and Gold sits in the top left corner. Newfield Junction is just below it.
Back at Brookland, South Brookland Road follows a long valley down toward Walton. Telescope Road passes Walton and Telescope, and Old Rte 6 meets Rock Run Road near Telescope. Ridge Road runs through Susquehannock State Forest in the bottom half of the sheet. Denton Hill State Park is in the bottom left. Many of the roads are labeled, and each red mark is a building, so zoom in on the preview and look for yours.
Brookland had another name first. According to the 1890 county history, a post office opened here in 1854 with Hosea Cushing in charge. The place was called Cushingville. In March 1857 the name was changed to Brookland. A man named Dent had built his home here, and he invited the ladies to a picnic to name it. Mrs. Timothy Ives picked Brookland. Dent also gave Potter County the clock in the courthouse tower. In 1888 a stone church went up at Brookland, built from stone dug nearby.
The same history says a German named Plagueman ran a tannery at Kibbeville in 1850. It says many a young man stood up to be married in boots made from Kibbeville leather. The tannery had closed by 1890. Kibbeville isn't labeled on the map, but Kibbeville Road is, up near Newfield where it meets Cowburn Road.
