2016 Map of Franklinton

About this map

Bethlehem and Franklinton anchor this central Henry County landscape, where the terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Drennon Creek and the Salt River. The topography is defined by high ground like James Ridge and Happy Ridge, which dictated the winding paths of local roads such as Bullitt Hill Rd and Point Pleasant Rd. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of family-named burial grounds like Jenkins Cem, Sewell Cem, and Willhite Cem, alongside smaller settlements like Delville and Slabtown. The drainage patterns, including Holy Water Branch and Petrole Branch Salt River, illustrate the complex watershed that has shaped agricultural and residential development in this part of Kentucky.
