About this map

Franksville and the surrounding township of Caledonia are the central focus of this 2010 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the intersection of traditional crossroads and modern infrastructure. Small historic settlements such as Kilbournville, Thompsonville, and Husher remain distinct landmarks along the grid-like road system, which is anchored by thoroughfares like Northwestern Ave and Waukesha Rd. The map illustrates a transitional suburban character where recreational developments like the Oakwood Golf Course and Oak Hills Golf Course sit near long-established sites of local significance, including the Independent Cemetery and Caledonia Cemetery.

Hydrography plays a significant role in the local geography, with the Root River and its managed tributaries, the Root River Canal and East Branch Root River Canal, cutting through the terrain. These waterways, alongside smaller streams like Husher Creek and Hoods Creek, trace the natural drainage patterns of the region, contrasting with the stark linearity of the north-south transportation corridor.
