2012 Map of Franklin
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The village of Franklin serves as the primary hub in this portion of Morgan County, where a grid of rural roads connects established family farmsteads and numerous small burial grounds. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Apple Creek and its many tributaries, such as Left Fork Apple Creek and Panther Creek. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named cemeteries, including the Criswell George Cemetery, Seymour Bird Cemetery, and Fanning Ollie Cemetery. To the east, the Franklin Waverly Outing Club Lake and Waverly Lake provide localized water features amidst the agricultural expanse. The small settlement of Centerville appears in the eastern section, marking a historic crossroads near New Hope Cemetery.
