2013 Map of Franklinville

About this map

Franklinville serves as the central hub of this Cattaraugus County landscape, situated where the waters of Ischua Cr meet several tributaries including Saunders Cr and Bear Cr. The settlement pattern follows the Ischua Valley, with smaller hamlets like Cadiz and Fitch established along the primary corridors. This 2013 survey illustrates a community deeply connected to its geography, with numerous family and historical burial sites such as Ten Broeck Cem and Mt Prospect Cem dotting the valley floor. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Pierce Hill and East Hill, while the passage known as The Narrows highlights the restricted movement between the ridgelines. Local transport is represented by a network of rural roads, including Hardy Corners Rd and Kingsbury Hill Rd, which connect outlying farms and homesteads to the village core.
