USGS Topo · Published 1892About this map
Franklin and the surrounding Potomac highlands appear here during the late nineteenth century, defined by a landscape of parallel ridges and deep river valleys. The North Fork Potomac River and South Fork Potomac River serve as the primary corridors for settlement and travel, connecting communities like Upper Tract and Fort Seybert. The surveying by W.T. Griswold captures the intricate topography of Spruce Mountain and the Alleghany Front, revealing a region where early industry such as Harper Mill and isolated crossroads like Kline Cross Roads anchored local life.
