2019 Map of Franklin

About this map

Ouleout Creek and its many branches, including the W Br Ouleout Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern through the highlands of Delaware and Otsego Counties. The village of Franklin serves as a primary hub, while smaller hamlets like East Sidney, Merrickville, and Bartlett Hollow are tucked into the valleys. For genealogists, the map is a significant record of burial sites, identifying East Sidney Cem, Barnes Cem, and the Plymouth Community Church Cem. The landscape is dominated by named summits such as Wheat Hill, Sherman Hill, and Mt Zion. The presence of Franklin Depot alludes to the region's historic transportation corridors, while the East Sidney Lake reservoir represents a significant modern modification of the Ouleout Creek watershed. The Susquehanna River flows across the northern edge near Wells Bridge, where I-88 follows the river valley.
