2013 Map of Franklinton

About this map

Franklinton serves as the primary hub of this 2013 survey, where the intersection of Us-1 and NC-56 anchors the local transportation network. The landscape is defined by its transition from the structured residential blocks of the town center to a series of rural nodes such as Mays Crossroads and Popes Crossroads. Water features are prominent throughout the region, with the Franklinton Reservoir situated northwest of town and the Little River flowing through the southern portion of the quadrangle. These waterways, along with Cedar Cr and Buffalo Cr, dictated the placement of historical crossings like Winston Bridge and Greens Bridge. South of the main settlement, Willowhaven Lake Number Two indicates later-twentieth-century residential development near Richland Cr. The map captures a moment of modern growth while maintaining the established rural framework of unincorporated communities like Needmore and Mitchiners Crossroads.
