1968 Map of Franklin Forks

About this map

Snake Creek carves a deep valley through the northern Susquehanna County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for small settlements like Brookdale and Stanfordville. This 1960s survey captures a rural landscape where agriculture and industry intersect, evidenced by the numerous quarries and gravel pits dotting the hillsides near Lawsville Center. The eastern edge of the map features the Susquehanna River and the Erie-Lackawanna railroad line, which facilitated the movement of goods through the border region near the New York state line.
