1942 Map of Franklinville

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Franklinville serves as the central hub of this 1942 topographical survey, which details a landscape of rural hamlets and upland farms in the early years of the Second World War. The area is defined by its educational and religious infrastructure, featuring numerous rural schoolhouses such as the Checkered School and English School, alongside landmarks like Siloam Church. The map illustrates the vital transportation network of the era, including the Baltimore And Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads, which facilitated movement through valleys like The Narrows. Smaller junctions and stops, including Machias Junction and Elton Station, highlight the importance of rail transit before the dominance of modern highways. In the outlying townships, named features like Buffalo Road School and County Line Cem provide essential data points for local historians and genealogists researching the families who settled the hills around Lime Lake and Crystal Lake.
