Brooklyn Heights, MO

united states

Brooklyn Heights is a tiny Missouri community of 106 people in Jasper County, sitting along US Highway 71 between Joplin and Kansas City. The town lies in rolling Ozark foothills with a rural, wooded setting typical of southwestern Missouri. Most residents commute to Joplin, about 15 miles southeast, while longer trips connect via I-44 to Springfield or US 71 north to Kansas City. The community still preserves its original 1902 one-room schoolhouse.
