1968 Map of Franklin

About this map

Franklin serves as the focal point of this Simpson County landscape, situated along the vital Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor. The town layout is clearly defined by its municipal center, featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and Library, while the outlying areas show the marks of mid-century leisure and utility, such as a Drive-in Theater and a Radio Tower. To the south, the terrain transitions across the Kentucky Tennessee state line, where smaller communities like Flat Rock and Mitchellville are linked by a network of rural routes including Peeden Mill Road and Ebenezer Road.
