2010 Map of Franklinton

About this map

Bethlehem and the central settlement of Franklinton anchor this Henry County landscape, where the northern drainage of Drennon Creek meets the southern flow of the Salt River. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of ridges and hollows, notably James Ridge and Happy Ridge, which dictated the winding paths of rural routes like Hickory Corner Rd and Sewell Rd. Genealogists will find significant local history preserved at the Sewell Cemetery and Point Pleasant Cemetery, along with smaller named communities such as Delville and Slabtown. The area is defined by its intricate network of waterways, including the curiously named Holy Water Branch and Fool Hollow, illustrating how the Kentucky terrain shaped local nomenclature and settlement patterns into the early 21st century.
