2010 Map of Franklin Falls

About this map

Franklin Falls serves as a focal point in this landscape where the Saranac River is harnessed for power and passage through the Adirondack Park. The geography is defined by significant water bodies such as Union Falls Pond and Franklin Falls Pond, reflecting the 20th-century history of hydroelectric development and recreational change in Clinton County. Small settlements like Forestdale and West Kilns sit along a network of historic routes including Plank Rd and Forestdale Rd, providing a look at local timber and industrial heritage. Genealogists can locate Union Cemetery and Goodspeed Cemetery positioned near Lincoln Brook. The terrain transitions from the heights of Esther Mountain and Lookout Mountain in the south to the northern ridges of Bear Mountain and Keegan Hill.
