About this map

Fort Covington sits prominently along the international border with Canada, where the Salmon River flows north through a landscape defined by small hamlets and agricultural crossroads. This modern survey illustrates the enduring settlement pattern of northern Franklin County, anchored by communities like Westville and Fort Covington Center. The local geography is heavily influenced by the winding paths of West Branch Deer Creek and East Branch Deer Creek, which crisscross the lowlands alongside Cold Spring Brook.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Elmwood Cemetery, Maple Hill Cemetery, and Coal Hill Cemetery. The road network, ranging from Burns-Holden Rd to the southern reaches of Co Rte 8, connects these historic centers. The map provides a clear look at the rural character of Cooks Corner and Westville Center as they appeared in the early 21st century.
