About this map

Fort Covington stands as the primary settlement in this northern Franklin County landscape, situated where the Salmon River flows through a series of agricultural holdings and wetland tracts. The 2019 survey reveals a decentralized pattern of small hamlets, including Westville, Fort Covington Center, and Westville Center, connected by a network of rural roads such as Mary Riley Rd and Burns Holden Rd. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the Plum Brook, Briggs Cr, and the branches of Deer Creek, which cut through the low-lying plains.

Genealogists will find a significant number of burial sites across the township, including Elmwood Cem and the Briggs Street Cem. Smaller locales like Cold Spring and landmarks such as Cold Spring Brook underscore the importance of local water sources to the early development of these northern communities. The map provides a clear look at the contemporary boundary of Franklin Co as it transitions toward the Canadian border.
