2024 Map of Franklin
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Bayou Teche winds through the heart of this Saint Mary Parish landscape, anchoring a string of historic settlements including Charenton, Baldwin, and Franklin. The map illustrates the complex intersection of natural bayous and industrial water management, featuring the Intracoastal Waterway and the Charenton Drainage and Navigation Canal cutting through the lowlands toward Jaws Bay. Agricultural patterns are evident along Cane Field Rd and near the Gold Mine locale, while the massive Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge preserves the wetlands south of the main corridor. Local heritage is concentrated at sites like the Sacred Heart Church Cem and the South Louisiana Community College Franklin Campus, reflecting the area's continued role as a regional center. The BNSF Railway and Hwy 182 parallel the water, following the high ground of the Irish Bend and connecting the smaller hamlets of Bodin, Ashton, and Rodriquez.
