2021 Map of Franklin

About this map

The confluence of the Pemigewasset River and the Winnisquam Lake outlet forms the Merrimack River at the heart of Franklin. This 2021 survey shows a landscape where industrial infrastructure and historical burial grounds sit alongside significant water bodies like Webster Lake. Genealogists will find a wealth of data across numerous dedicated sites, including Shaw Corner Cem, Bog Road Cem, and Maplewood Cem. The transit history of the region is marked by the B & M RR corridor, which follows the river valleys through settlements such as Webster Place and Salisbury. The terrain transitions from the riverbanks to prominent heights like Pine Hill and Searles Hill, reflecting a classic New England pattern of valley-floor development and upland agriculture. Further west, the map details the rural character of Salisbury Heights and East Andover, where local aviation is noted at Tucker Farm Airport.
