2010 Map of Franklin Forks

About this map

Snake Creek dictates the geography of this rural landscape as it winds through a series of small, established hamlets. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional crossroads communities such as Franklin Forks, Lawsville Center, and Brookdale, where local road networks like Baptist Hl and Howard Hill Rd converge. This 2010 survey illustrates a quiet transition between northern Pennsylvania and southern New York, anchored in the northeast by the Susquehanna River. Numerous small water bodies and dams characterize the drainage of the area, including Mingo Lake, Bel-Air Lake, and the larger DuBois Reservoir. Notable topographic landmarks like Stonecrop Hill and Roundtop rise above the creek valleys, while the presence of Kirkwood Airpark near the New York border indicates the modern aviation footprint on this otherwise agrarian and residential terrain.
