About this map

The Robertson County seat of Franklin serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey, showing the town's street grid and its position as a regional transportation hub. Radiating from the center are numerous thoroughfares including Owensville Rd and N Town Loop, which connect the town to the surrounding agricultural prairie. To the northeast, the smaller settlements of New Baden and Easterly are established along the rail and highway corridors, with the New Baden Cemetery providing a clear record of the area's local genealogy.

Water management and rural land use are evident through features like Martin Lake, Schultz Lake, and Casey Lake, each marked with associated dams. The drainage network is complex, defined by the branches of North Mineral Creek, South Mineral Creek, and Camp Creek. Historical road names like Old Boones Prairie Rd and Red Rock Rd suggest the early routes used by settlers to navigate the local terrain and ranching lands.
