About this map

The Chickasaw Boundary bisects the northwestern portion of this landscape, a significant historical line running near the headwaters of Waterfall Branch and Dry Creek. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the village of Frankfort and the community of Crooked Oak, with the terrain marked by numerous small churches and family burial grounds that reflect the rural character of Franklin County. Many of these sites, such as Burnt Church Cem and Jonesboro Ch, are connected by a network of winding roads and crossings like Hester Bridge.

Water management and resource extraction are evident in the southern half of the map, where the Russellville Reservoir collects several local branches. Evidence of the local economy appears through a strip mine near Cedar Creek, while educational landmarks like Lime Rock Sch serve the outlying residents. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Wagnon Mountain, which overlooks a complex system of drainages including Tollison Creek and Dunkin Creek.
