About this map

Brushton and Moira anchor this Franklin County landscape, where the Little Salmon River and Farrington Brook converge amidst a network of rural homesteads and family cemeteries. The mapping detail shows a high concentration of burial grounds including Sunnyside Cem, Saint Peters Cem, and Saint Marys Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community history of the region. Local transport is defined by the intersection of state and county routes, connecting smaller settlements like Alburg and East Dickinson to the larger villages.

Waterways like Lawrence Brook, Redwater Brook, and Stony Brook create a complex drainage pattern through the northern New York terrain. Further south, higher ground is marked by Brigham Hill Rd and Sand Hill Cem, showing the shift from river-valley settlements to more upland rural areas. This 2016 survey captures the enduring layout of the northern Franklin County corridor, preserving the locations of namesake roads such as Mahoney Rd and Finnegan Rd that reveal centuries of local land ownership.
