1967 Map of Franklin

About this map

The city of Franklin serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1967 survey, positioned at a critical junction where the Blackwater River turns south toward the state line. The map highlights the urban expansion of the era, from the established neighborhoods around Poplar Springs Cemetery to new developments at Cypress Manor and Scottswood. Industrial activity is prominently marked by the large complex and Industrial Waste Ponds along the river, fueled by the intersecting lines of the Norfolk and Western and Seaboard railroads.
