2014 Map of Franklin

About this map

Franklin serves as the focal point of this Pendleton County landscape, situated along the South Branch Potomac River where Us-33 and Us-220 intersect. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and hollows, with the community of Entry to the southwest and Ruddle to the north. The area is defined by its numerous natural water sources, including named springs like Smith Farm Spring, Peters Run Big Spring, and Hammer Spring, which likely supported early homesteads and agricultural efforts.
