2018 Map of Franklin

About this map

Stanley Draper Lake dominates the northwest corner of this 2018 survey, reflecting the essential water infrastructure of central Oklahoma. The map documents a transitional landscape where the suburban edges of Oklahoma City and Norman meet more rural areas, including the small settlement of Franklin. Topographic contours reveal the drainage patterns of the Little River and Rock Cr, while the eastern portion is defined by the elevation of Thunderbird Ridge. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Ford-Pleasant Grove Cemetery in the north and the Blackburn Cemetery near the center of the sheet. The dense grid of residential streets and arterial roads like S Anderson Road and S Hiwassee Road illustrates the steady expansion of the metropolitan corridor between these major cities.
