2024 Map of Ashland

About this map

Ashland and the surrounding rural landscape of Franklin County are defined by a network of creeks and the meandering Hudson River. This modern survey illustrates a region where small communities like Hebron and Erastus persist alongside historic transit routes such as the Old Federal Rd. The terrain is marked by significant local genealogy sites, including several burial grounds like Ebenezer Cem and Bold Springs Cem that serve as anchors for these long-standing settlements. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the convergence of Franklin Co with Banks and Madison counties occurs near Hudson River Landing. The geography shows a transition from the upland reaches of Indian Creek and Nails Creek toward the broader drainage of the Middle Fork Broad River, documenting the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of this part of Georgia.
