2016 Map of Franklin

About this map

The confluence of the Allegheny River and French Creek anchors this topographic study of Venango County, where the historic city of Franklin and the adjacent borough of Sugarcreek spread across the narrow river valleys. The landscape is defined by steep, wooded hillsides rising to named heights such as Galena Hill, Gurney Hill, and Bleakley Hill. This 2016 data illustrates a deeply established community with numerous resting places, including Pioneer Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the expansive Franklin Cem. Significant transportation infrastructure is evident, from the Venango Regional Airport on the southern plateau to the arterial routes serving neighborhood clusters like Rocky Grove, Oak Hill, and Uniontown. To the east, the Allegheny River loops toward Reno, while the Two Mile Run Reservoir provides a substantial water feature in the northern highlands near the settlement of Mason.
