About this map

Franklin serves as the focal point of this region, situated at the confluence of French Cr and the Allegheny River. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of these waterways and several significant tributaries, including Twomile Run and Wolf Run. The area's geography is characterized by distinct neighborhoods and small settlements such as Rocky Grove, Galloway, and Mapledale. On the outskirts of the town, infrastructure like the Venango Regional Airport and Fisher Airport highlight the importance of local aviation in connecting these Pennsylvania communities.

Industry and recreation are seen in the presence of the River Ridge Golf Course and the residential expansion into the hills surrounding the river valley, such as Gurney Hill and Galena Hill. The northern portion of the map shows a shift toward more open spaces near Two Mile Run Reservoir and Haslets Corner. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the modern layout of these historic settlements and the natural river islands like Hoge Island.
