2018 Map of Franklin

About this map

The confluence of the Pemigewasset River and the Winnipesaukee River forms the headwaters of the Merrimack River at Franklin, a geography that historically powered the region's industrial growth. This 2018 survey detail shows the city's relationship with Webster Lake and the varied terrain of hills like Raccoon Hill and Searles Hill. The landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks, including numerous small burial grounds such as Shaw Corner Cem and the Holy Cross Cem. Local infrastructure is anchored by the historic Daniel Webster Bridge and the Sulphite Bridge crossing the river channels. The map also traces the rural character of neighboring Salisbury and East Andover, where landmarks like the Tucker Farm Airport and Weeks Pond define the transition from town centers to the granite-underlaid hills of Merrimack County.
